Hi we need volunteers to help us maintain our compost at CBEC in exchange for some compost to take home! Every second Tuesday of the month we need extra hands. Eco Solutions collect paper towels from kindis, and the waste from the Kaitaia Market and compost it, we then gift it back to the kindis and kura, we would love a few extra hands to turn the compost every month, and lawn clippings, we are happy for helpers to take home compost in return! Please email, I never answer my phone!

I have a Trade Tested tunnel house to put up in my garden. There will be a bit of digging to level ground.
There are also 2 raised garden beds to put together and fill. These are jobs I would happily do for myself, but I am currently recovering from abdominal surgery.
Can give hours, and trade a few kale, spinach and purple sprouting broccoli seedlings.
I hope to get it done within the next month.
Thanks Sandra

Has anyone got little self seeded Camelia plants under their established bushes? Ideally pink or red ones? I'd love to come by and dig some up for transplanting to our place. I have plenty of the white camelia sinensis (tea plant) but would love to add some color. Many thanks!

Ongoing support for the Dargaville Community Garden. Located at Kumarani Creative Centre
A garden to promote wellness, community connections and to be a learning / growing space for any who require it.
Our goal is to educate and connect rather than high production. This is a permaculture garden based on the core ethics of 'Earth Care' 'People Care' and 'Fair Share'. We encourage everyone to start a garden at home.
There will be monthly open days including workshops, seed and crop swaping and information sharing.
You can also be part of the regular volunteer team taking care of the gardens.

Kia ora Timebankers!
Our community garden is not a community garden without a community.
Are you interested in sharing your knowledge and experience, and learning from others in a garden context?
Are you interested to learn how to grow your own (organic) food?
Are you keen to just help out for a couple of hours in the garden on a Tuesday or Thursday morning, and take fresh organic food home?
Do you just want to come along to chat about gardening and maybe bring some questions?
Our garden is open to all.
If you have any questions or want to express interest in joining us, please message us by replying to this request!
The garden is behind Kaitaia Community House at 12 Puckey Ave, and open sessions for volunteers are Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8-10AM (summer hours) or 9am - 11am (Winter hours). If that time doesn't work for you but you're still keen to come down, send us a message, and we'll see what we can do!

I'm after a little help in the garden at home please! There's always something to do, I've got established orchards and herbs, raised vege beds, a glasshouse with seedlings on a 17 acre property.
After someone with a little strength for the heavy tasks I can't manage, and also knowledge about plants would be great. Helping with pruning and digging and tidying around the place.
Tuesdays and Thursdays in the mornings would be awesome, for a couple of hours. Please contact to discuss further.

Kia ora,
This is an ongoing, longer request for support establishing part of a wildlife corridor between the Pukenui and Otaika forests. We are regenerating bush on our property in Maunu, situated between the two reserves. Our priority is converting ~4 hectares of kikuyu-infested paddock into native bush. We've started planting ourselves, but we are going to need help.
The long-term plan is to get the property protected in perpetuity as a QEII trust to preserve as wildlife and native bush preserve. The first step is replacing the grass with native plantings.
What we are looking for to help make this happen:
*Plants - Particularly
pioneer species like manuka, kanuka, large harakeke, cabbage trees, Pittosporum crassifolium/karo, whau, red mapou, makomako, lacebark, mahoe, five finger, etc. Do you have a flat of manuka or kanuka seedlings? That can help! Splitting or removing a native? Send it our way! We also have shady marshy areas of paddock which need reforesting.
*Mulch - We'll need heaps of mulch to protect our new plantings. Do you know where to get some? Will you have some? Can you dump some here? Unfortunately we don't have a truck for pickup.
*Planting - Assuming we can get the requisite plants and mulch, we'll need help getting them in the ground. This is primarily a wintertime activity.
*Money? - We've reached out to lots of departments and organizations about grants and funds to get any plants or mulch. Almost everyone is tapped out, or waiting until they get new guidelines for funding next year. We've signed up for notifications for a lot. We've also put in inquiries with private companies that share costs. Another option is crowd-funding through the community, but we're not currently pursuing that until we've run through the other choices.
Thank you,
J & E
