I am asking for help for the Merivale Community Garden, in Tauranga. The fruit , veg, workshops are free Building community

Bay of Plenty

The garden is not for profit and has charitable status. The community and surrounding areas, is low socio economic , and sadly getting worst. With the price of fresh food skyrocketing the garden is in high demand.It is difficult to keep up with it! The garden began 5 years ago, it has grown in so many different ways. I think one of the most important, is the fact the community is getting so involved, so we are growing community, sad that we have to learn it. This knowledge is how we will survive the future. We teach from the beginning , Soil, seed, organics, worm farming, herbs and the different uses, cooking and medical (Teas etc). Please help the garden to help the community.
