Hataitai Community Gardens

Glenna Neighbourly Lead from Hataitai

157 Hataitai Rd, Hataitai
The gardens are located on the grounds of the former Hataitai Bowling Club, just next to the bowling green and the Menzshed.
We currently have silverbeet, parsley, and kale ready to pick, next week we will start preparing the soil for spring vegetable planting and sow seeds Broccoli, Cabbage, Onions, Spinach, Silverbeet.  We are also getting ready for growing passionfruit and grapes up a chain fence.
Everyone is welcome to come and pick vegetables from any of the veg plots.
If you can donate a little of your time to help weeding, planting and or watering in summer please ring or txt me on 0275389709.
Compost bins are for anyone to use, all as we ask is no seeding weeds or meat products are left there, you can take compost for your own gardens, if you need help with doing this do txt me, we have garden tools and wheelbarrows to use.
Future things happening in the gardens, we have a library box going in very soon, a waterproof box has been made, we also have a waterproof food pantry going in soon.  Also planning on a friendship seat in the area.
Thank you ro the Hataitai Community Recreation Trust (HCRT).

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
