Helping hands at our Community Garden
Mairangi Arts Centre maintains a 'hidden gem' of a garden that is for the community, and maintained by the community. This Sunday 17th March 2PM-4PM we will be holding a working bee for a general tidy up including spreading mulch and gathering branches. Join our team of local residents and green thumb enthusiasts to address some garden tasks and then enjoy some complimentary afternoon tea after that! More information of our garden can be found on our Facebook page.
