By coming to the Foodtogether Pop-Up, you're not just getting a bargain; you're helping to reduce food waste and supporting a more sustainable lifestyle by making sure nothing goes to waste. Besides, ugly is the new tasty!

Dates: Every Thursday, 24th August – 28th September
Time: 11:00am - 1:00pm (or until sold out)
Location: Beautification Trust - 38 Holmes Road, Manurewa
Cost: $15 per bag

Pilot Programme: Initially this will run for 6 weeks; if the pilot programme is popular with the community, we will aim to make it a long-term offering.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
