I am going overseas for 2 1/2 months . I need help to do the lawns for the month of June and July and early August
The section is about 850 m2 and am willing to pay cash and time bank hours for the work, which will take about one hour. I suggest that the lawn be moved every 2 to 3 weeks
Probably needs to moved about 5 times.
If you are interested, please get in touch with me.
Thanks

Do you want to earn an hour or two of time by working alongside me in my garden?
I have a flower garden that needs weeding and some new bulbs to plant plus the general autumn tidy up.

Hello,
We're looking for 80-100 litres of taraire drupes. We will be overseeding our property as part of native reforesting project in Maunu. You can read more about the how and why in this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/summer-seeding-148160564
Ideally you could just drop off full buckets for us to empty for you. We can give time credits for the collection time.
Less ideally we can come and collect if you have a taraire forest with a large amount of groundfall drupes or kukupa deposits of them.
Our most recent post on our planting project is here:

You can follow our project there for free.

I would like help with weeding my garden of overgrown grass and convolvulus including in amongst it, some herbs. I would also like help with greenhouse planting, seed collecting and propagation etc. I am a very experienced gardener and willing to share my knowledge. I just need more hands to help.
Free plants and time credits will be given.
Thank you,

Hi Timebankers,
I'm hoping someone out there has some excess topsoil they are happy to part with as I need some for a new garden box I've bought. I'm based in New Plymouth so ideally someone here but I'm happy to travel to you depending on where you are located. I might be able to get a trailer but if it's not pushing my luck too much then borrowing a trailer would be great as well. My car has a towbar.....I need about 1/3 cubic metre if anyone has some spare.
Thanks in advance.

Next week we are receiving some pavers and garden edging blocks that Firth have donated for the Hope Community Garden.
If there is anybody that would be good at making garden edging that would be fantastic please!
Hope Community Garden
The community garden is open 3 days per week, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 10.00 am – 1.00 pm. There is always something to do, weeding, planting, harvesting and a cuppa to be had. We are looking for people who are prepared to come and help when and if they can. The garden was closed for four months last year so we are currently looking to put more structure in the garden and keep on top of the gardening while we start again.

I need some help with my lawns, I don't have a shed to store a lawnmower in so I don't have one currently. The grass is getting a little out of hand. I have a weed hacker to do the edges, but the lawn itself needs mowing (potentially regularly in the next few weeks). It's only a small section for about 30min at my little tiny house in Woodend
