Hataitai Community Gardens
157 Hataitai Rd, Hataitai
The gardens are located on the grounds of the former Hataitai Bowling Club, just next to the bowling green and the Menzshed.
We currently have silverbeet, parsley, and kale ready to pick, next week we will start preparing the soil for spring vegetable planting and sow seeds Broccoli, Cabbage, Onions, Spinach, Silverbeet. We are also getting ready for growing passionfruit and grapes up a chain fence.
Everyone is welcome to come and pick vegetables from any of the veg plots.
If you can donate a little of your time to help weeding, planting and or watering in summer please ring or txt me on 0275389709.
Compost bins are for anyone to use, all as we ask is no seeding weeds or meat products are left there, you can take compost for your own gardens, if you need help with doing this do txt me, we have garden tools and wheelbarrows to use.
Future things happening in the gardens, we have a library box going in very soon, a waterproof box has been made, we also have a waterproof food pantry going in soon. Also planning on a friendship seat in the area.
Thank you ro the Hataitai Community Recreation Trust (HCRT).
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
