Neighbourhood Food Harvest

Maria from North Dunedin

Our Food Network: Do you have food in your garden (fruit or veges) and know you won't be able to consume it all? Do you want help to harvest and donate some food to your neighbours and/or local food banks? Do you want to get to know your neighbours and help them harvest any excess food from their own properties? If you answer "yes" to any of these questions then please contact us at:ourfoodnetwork@gmail.com
Our "Ideas into Action Facilitator" (Niki Bould) is busy gathering names and addresses for our database so we can organise volunteers in each neighbourhood to harvest as much food as possible so it doesn't go to waste. We will be running some volunteer workshops soon (on how to make "apple-pickers", how to identify diseases in fruit, and providing some health and safety info) and hope this is a great way for neighbours to meet each other.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
