POV: You’re studying horticulture at WITT, and your tutor takes the class into the lush canopy of Sheppard’s Bush.

​You’re standing next to a massive Pukatea (Laurelia novae-zelandiae).

Taranaki keeps innovating.

5 (new) Communal Gardens are looking for members, and it could be YOU! 🌱🥰
📍Ōakura, Frankleigh Park, Merrilands, Marfell and Spotswood!

Link in the comments to learn more about GROWMEEZ - Communal Gardens, but in short: a small group of people come together to grow food on under-utilised private land. It's about learning, sharing, harvesting and building connections in your community! 💚

Get in touch if you'd like to learn more and maybe join one local garden! 🙋
