Community Planting Day - Saturday, 27 January 2024

Sharon from Karori

Its time to beautify the old St John’s site on the Corner of Karori Road and Campbell Street, to create a vibrant and engaging community space for all to enjoy.

Boston Projects and Foxtail Events are hosting a Community Planting Day on Saturday, 27 January from 10am – 2pm, and the whole of Karori is invited to attend and participate in this fun day out.

Bring your gumboots, trowels, spades, forks and a bunch of energy and enthusiasm to help make our town centre fantastic! A bottle or water, sunhat and sunscreen is super important too!

This grass roots initiative is fully reliant on the support of the Karori community and there are a number of ways that you can contribute to this project. For example, we need more plants (i.e native grasses and bushes, succulents flowering plants, wildflowers, bulbs, herbs, or edible plants). Anything will be considered.

We are also looking for a local talented artist to create a mural and someone to regularly help keep the section tidy with some strimming of the grass.

If you are able to volunteer your time with either of these, then please get in touch with Boston Projects at hello@bostonprojects.co.nz

We look forward to seeing you there!
