Māngere Bridge Seedling & Seed Swap Day: Saturday 4th Oct 10am – 12pm

Friends of the Farm and Meeghan Jade have come together again and are excited to host another Spring Seedling and Seed Swap Day! Read on for this year’s twist…

• Saturday 4th October 2025 from 10 00am – 12.00 noon at Ambury Farm Park Barn, Māngere Bridge.
• Do you sow more seeds than you usually plant out?
•  Did you save an abundance of seeds from last year’s gardening?
• Completely new to gardening and want to get off to a helpful start?
• Morning tea and home made cookies will be available whilst we share gardening tips tricks !

Bring on down your extra seed harvests, seedlings – veges or flowers, any type of plant that grows can come along to be swapped.

Don’t have anything to bring? Come on down anyway, maybe the seed that’s planted will be the idea of a new garden. Or trying something new to grow!

We will show you how to use old newspaper to make biodegradable seedling pots as well as handy bags for gifting harvests or lining the food waste bins!

Anything that is left over will be planted out at the local community gardens!

This year, we will also have giant pumpkin seedlings to give to people/families that register to enter the

GIANT PUMPKIN GROWING COMPETITION

Not only will you need to register for the competition and collect your seedling at the seedling swap day, but you will also need a large sunny spot in a garden to grow it.

To register please email friends@fof.nz

We will have horse poo that you can take to get started growing your giant pumpkin.
