Read about this Dunedin cafe where vegetables from the kitchen has been grown by the owner. The staples of pumpkins, beetroot, cabbage and carrots do well here, he says, with a wide variety of other crops including spring onions, kohlrabi, celery, fennel, kale, potatoes, silverbeet, leek, mint and herbs. Yummy!

I have one full-time and a part-time space available for an under 6 year old not enrolled at school. I have been a care educator for 10 years and live in Sunnynook and regularly attend playgroups, go to mainly music, the library, parks, playgrounds, beaches but at the moment with covid19 we are staying home. I do have a lot of indoor and outdoor toys available and do fun activites with teh kids everyday so doesn't matter that we are not heading out much at the moment. I love to do arts and crafts and science experiments with the kids. The smaller child-educator ratio allows better quality care and less bugs spreading. You can claim subsidies from WINZ and for the ECE 20h hours for 3 & 4 year olds. Hourly rate is $7. if you are interested send me a message. Grab the space before it is gone!
