Profile Information

Suburb: Royal Oak

Food Growing Skill Level: Expert

Experience and Qualifications: Permaculture Experience

I am interested in...: Buying Local Food, Selling Local Grown Food, Bartering Local Food, Community Gardens, Learning, Preserving, Helping Others, Seed Savers

Tell us about your garden and what you're growing: We have been in the process of reorganising the Gardens for the last year after new office space went in to an area that was previously, gardens, glasshouse, and orchard. We have planted a lot of fruit trees with intention of having most fruit types available in the future.

Our community gardens are also a source for folks to gain knowledge about permaculture and organics as well as a demonstration for providing raised beds for people with disabilities who enjoy volunteering and gardening. Our goal is creating a space open to everybody, regardless of ability and to celebrate the diversity of our local community.

We sell produce in our shop on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 AM--3 PM. We also grow on pohutukawas for Project Crimson as well as a variety of ornamental plants and natives available at a reasonable cost.

In the near future, we hope to create allotment space that was lost during reconstruction here.

We will…

Also happy to talk at the next market. When is it?

Will be interesting to see how the crops do this summer, the pysllid was pretty rampant here in gizzy and many potato growers were badly affected....doesnt seem like theres much you csan do other than prevention through organic sprays and the like.
Hope winter is treating you well : )>

Suzanne was a spammer so she has been banned.
