Hi Brett.  Um, If no one else answers you I could come over and check your garden out.  I live at Sunnynook but that's ok.  I have spent the last two years turning my garden into a cottage garden with fruit trees, veges, roses and even the odd chook.  Phone me if you'd like.  09 4417678.  Fiona.

Hi,

This is my first time posting. We just bought a house in Torbay with heaps of beds and borders that we are looking forward to turning into productive, edible gardens. Our first purchase was one of Bruce's tumble composters. Right now everything is a bit overgrown as a result, a bit too shady. We will cut back a lot, but not sure what can stand it what can't. Plus, we have on a small section, 4 enormous deciduous trees dumping leaves now and making it hard for anything else to grow. So much to do, so much fun to be had! Anyone is Torbay know about this stuff and want to come by and give free advise?? We are not native to NZ so not really sure what we all is growing here.

Devonport has a community garden in Mt Cambria Reserve. They meet Sunday afternoons 2-4 and are only too happy to talk about their trials and tribulations of setting it up. Saying that we have a new council now so a whole new ball game.

I don’t think someONE could make it happen. I know of several local parks the council pays no attention (other than mowing) and I bet there are others. A group who are willing to put in the work could make it happen. Once such a group had formed and a vision of what they wanted to achieve was clearly formed the next step would be getting agreement from the council.

Nice idea Nicholas, hope someone makes it happen

I have been thinking recently it would be really cool to have a demo garden in one of the local parks. Worked by volunteers with the objective of collecting and developing varieties that suit our unique climate and to introduce other to sustainable gardening.
