Our community garden needs your cardboard boxes and leaves!!
The Symonds Street Junction Community Garden (Corner of Symonds + Mt Eden Rd) is turning a large patch of Kikuyu grass into farm/ food forest in the City!
We are using a technique called "lasagna gardening":
To do this, We need cardboard and freshly-raked leaves, to create a biodegradable base layer that is a barrier to stop the weeds getting through!
We also need your coffee grounds, tea bags, egg shells, grass clippings and any fruit/vege scaps for our compost layer!!
This is a really exciting time for our garden, as we are starting to establish a system of bokashi and larger scale worm/ regular composting too!
Please bring your organic waste (especially cardboard and leaves!), and maybe pop into the garden to check it out for yourself ;-)

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
