Community Orchard Working Bee – Sat 5 Apr, 2-4pm

Interested in joining a keen local bunch of gardening enthusiasts?  Come and join Friends of the Farm’s next orchard working bee on Saturday 5th April  2-4pm.

Jobs to do will include thinning flax, spreading horse poo and learning how to prune stonefruit trees at the end of summer.

This forms part of our plan towards helping Mangere Bridge to become more food resilient; feeding our community well into the future from plants which have proven over time to grow well in our place. The reduction in waste from packaging and carbon emissions from air miles, when you just have to walk down the road for a feed, is an added bonus!

Good company plus home-made baked goodies and tea/coffee will be your reward.  Look out for the Friends of the Farm flag on the side of the road near 82 Wallace Rd, Mangere Bridge
