Hataitai Community Gardens
157 Hataitai Rd, Hataitai
The gardens are located on the grounds of the former Hataitai Bowling Club, just next to the bowling green and the Menzshed.
We currently have silverbeet, parsley, and kale ready to pick, next week we will start preparing the soil for spring vegetable planting and sow seeds Broccoli, Cabbage, Onions, Spinach, Silverbeet. We are also getting ready for growing passionfruit and grapes up a chain fence.
Everyone is welcome to come and pick vegetables from any of the veg plots.
If you can donate a little of your time to help weeding, planting and or watering in summer please ring or txt me on 0275389709.
Compost bins are for anyone to use, all as we ask is no seeding weeds or meat products are left there, you can take compost for your own gardens, if you need help with doing this do txt me, we have garden tools and wheelbarrows to use.
Future things happening in the gardens, we have a library box going in very soon, a waterproof box has been made, we also have a waterproof food pantry going in soon. Also planning on a friendship seat in the area.
Thank you ro the Hataitai Community Recreation Trust (HCRT).

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
