Our community garden has had a new lease of life in the last couple of months as new volunteers have come on board and the hard work of a few has borne fruit. Along with the sun coming out it has made the garden, once again, a lovely and restorative place to be. We’ve also been doing a bit of landscaping out the back of the house. When the sun’s out, both staff and volunteers, get to enjoy lunch on the deck and find ourselves being refreshed by the sun and the plants. Nature restores, refreshes and renews us.

We encourage you this winter to get out and enjoy the natural spaces around you. Don’t let the weather keep you inside. We would love to see you having lunch in our garden or any of the local parks (be a tidy kiwi though!) and being refreshed by natural places.

If you would like to get your hands dirty then come and volunteer with us on a Friday morning, 9.30-12. We’d love to see you!
