My Backyard Garden Project Mangere Challenge
My Backyard Garden Project Mangere Challenge
100 Mangere families who are keen to start backyard gardens are wanted to take part in the upcoming 'My Backyard Garden Project Mangere Challenge'. Families must live in the Mangere area and commit to attending workshops on 9 and 10 September where they'll build raised garden beds from old pallets, and learn about composting, lasagne gardening, Maramataka (gardening by the moon), seed raising, seedling planting and how to use their produce. The project is free and participants will receive their own raised garden bed, compost bin and support to get them growing.
To register your backyard, or to volunteer your time or resources, please contact: Brent Mags 021 029 10004, Therese Mangos 021 905 961 or Valerie Teraitua 027 2561472
The project is supported by:

Aucklanders, we want to know: How are you feeling about the current property market?
New Zealand homeowners are now more likely to sell at a loss than at any time since 2013, and if you’re in Auckland or Wellington, the odds are even higher.
But there is a silver lining: buyers are still in a strong position when it comes to negotiating prices.
