VORTEX BIODYNAMIC COMMUNITY GARDEN
70 MICHAELS AVE ELLERSLIE AUCKLAND
70 MICHAELS AVE ELLERSLIE AUCKLAND
The Community garden has been moved to a variety of new situations due to a change of tenancy at the Michaels Ave shops.
I would still like to hear from anyone interested in developing Community Gardens or small allotment type gardens, in and around Auckland.
It would be fantastic to see all the grass verges, and unused spare vacant land turned into flourishing garden plots.
A lot can be grown in a small area and I would be happy to help with set up and design etc in exchange for a reasonable donation to the Vortex BD Community Garden Fund.
Also if anyone has spare financial income, skills or time to donate to supporting this cause, or knows of funding we could apply for, then please contact me (09) 5242393
If you want your grass verge or small garden plot to look like this, or broccolini as yummy as the one Anita is holding, then organise a few friends for a workshop, or update your own vege garden.
