NEV Community Garden

Maria from North Dunedin

Spring is here! The Garden has daffodils and blossoms are on trees and on the early prunus. What this means for us at the Community Garden is that it's time to be raising seeds, planting out some early ones and sowing seeds directly in the garden beds. We need lots of help and we'd love to see you! You'll see below that now winter is over, we revert to 9am starts on Saturdays, but just come when you are able.
If you feel you would like to take on some more responsibility at the Garden, please let us know.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
