All about me!
Hi Folks, I am Alison Hucke. I am the co-ordinator of the Cambridge Community Garden. This garden is a great asset owned and operated entirley by volunteers from the community. At present it is very productive. You can collect or pick your own fresh spray free produce at any time - just do a task on the whiteboard, swap your extra produce or preserves or leave a donation. We will help you stay healthy and beat the supermarket prices.
If you would like to volunteer I am at the garden every Wed. and Sat. morning from 8am to 10.30am.
I am also a resident in Resthaven Retirement Village and manage the Craft Room there.

The tracks in this case are on the Te Awa River Ride, the new cycle and walking trail that runs alongside the Waikato River. A section of the route, between central Cambridge and the Grassroots Trust Velodrome, is in the process of becoming a grand outdoor art gallery.
