Here at Myers Park Cottage we are lucky enough to be hosting Greening the City - a free programme supporting Auckland city centre residents, businesses and workers to share the resources, knowledge and community to grow their own plants from seed.
We have close to $10,000 of resources to give away:
- compost
- seed raising mix
- professional propagation trays
- plus a huge array of seeds.
Every participant then gets 10 weeks of tailored email support - how-to videos, troubleshooting, the lot.
On our open days, professional urban farmers will run drop-in, family-friendly workshops where people can learn how to sow seeds and take home their own resource pack.
In August we will regroup at Myers Park Cottage to share our collectively grown seedlings and plant out a beautiful community garden full of flowers, fruit trees and vegetables.
So bring your gardening gloves and together we can do some planting around the cottage and we can start spreading some seeds to help feed others.
In partnership with Auckland Council and Levi Brinsdon-Hall from Delicious Revolution.
