kia ora Kotou,
Kia ora whanau,
food forest workshop being run by Derek Craig from Oak & Thistle on 25 May 10-12 at the orchard. Please register with Project Twin Streams/ Ecomatters in New Lynn.
Just a wee reminder about the food forest workshop being run by Derek Craig from Oak & Thistle on 25 May 10-12 at the orchard. It should be a really interesting morning.
just a wee reminder that we are planning a working bee for Sunday, 6 April 2-4pm.
We are looking at trying a working bee without PTS tools, to see how it goes, so I guess that means bring your enthusiasm, kids, buckets, niwashi, spades, buckets, forks, gubbas and anything else you love gardening with..oh, and some wheelbarrows please :)
Usual jobs, weeding, we are looking at watering (if needed, I can bring 2 hoses), we probably want to fling around some worm wee & have an informal talk about developing a food forest (There will be a workshop in May sometime to formalise this process/ plan), making mulch bags if there is mulch...
Hopefully we will see you there :)
we have an alternative date for last weekend's Orchard working bee.
We are looking at Sat 1 March 10-12pm.
Alannah will be there with the van & tools.
We are looking at weeding & mulching tree beds & a wee tidy up before autumn.
Usual situation, bring your enthusiasm, any wheelbarrows you might have & your kids.
Hopefully we will see y'all there.
GETT (Glen Eden Transition Towns) meeting in the orchard, Tuesday 4 Feb, 6pm to discuss development of food forest at the orchard and other GETT plans/initiatives.
Please bring your ideas, enthusiasm & something for a shared meal...
Time for the first working bee of the year, thought we would try 10-12 on 22 January.
Bring the usuals, your enthusiasm, your kids, wheelbarrows & any tools you might thing useful (we have gloves, soe gubbas & buckets, niwashi, shovels etc..)
We are looking at having a shared meal afterwards, so a contribution for that would be good.
Perhaps we could talk about plans/ actions for advancing the food forest concept in our orchard...
Hopefully we will see you all there.
Check out this documentry made about our orchard & a range of awesome people doing great growing things around the country..
