Common Unity Project - growing the dream tream
We are a community-based, urban village programme growing food, skills, leadership, community-owned, social enterprise with local families. Our home in Epuni, The ReMakery provides opportunity for employment development, skills development, place of learning, place of manufacturing from waste reincarnation, returning all profits to development of local food projects across the Hutt Valley.
We have 11 urban farms growing food that is crafted into gorgeous meals for the community to purchase. For each meal sold another is gifted to a child at one of our 4 partner schools.
We have an amazing, but small group of passionate dedicated staff supported by a large pool of wonderful volunteers. We desperately need funding support to ensure we can continue to employ our staff to ensure this community regeneration work can continue and grow.
What flowers are blooming in your garden?
Kia ora neighbours,
In our September mag, Amy Roberts from Villaleigh Plants has a list of her favourite blooms for long display. "If you want a long season, look beyond the flowers," is her advice. Here are her picks: Geranium phaeum 'Mourning Widow', Salvia leucantha, Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (pictured), Eryngium pandanifolium and Alchemilla mollis.
Have you got them in your garden? In fact, we'd love to see what you've got in bloom now. Post a photo and share the joy!
Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?
Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
