'Care OUT there' newsletter for care groups in our open spaces

Richard Parfitt from Whakatāne District Council

Care Groups working in the Whakatāne District do a fabulous job in supporting, advocating, coordinating and providing inspiration to the wider public and the Whakatāne District Council on projects and spaces that are important to them.

We currently have a number of formalised Care Groups working on various ongoing projects around the District, with many other groups and individuals doing their bit on track maintenance, rubbish collection, providing edible food growing spaces, carrying out pest control, and looking after projects important to their marae, kindergarten or club activities, to mention just a few.

Visit the links below to find out more about these groups, how you can get involved and view the latest issue of the 'Care OUT there' Newsletter

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.
