Organic Gardening Sessions
We are closed for the Christmas/NY period from Fri 20th Dec - Monday 6th January - please apply in the new year.
Get involved in seasonal activities for a deeper understanding of food production. Learning opportunities include seed sowing and collection; propagation; growing veges and herbs; managing a pollinator garden; and pruning an established food forest.
Learn how to build healthy, deep soil on tricky west Auckland clay!
Please remember the golden rule, if you are sick stay home.
We love our volunteers. If you fancy being part of an indispensable team of like-minded superheroes, get in touch! Our trusty tribe of volunteers come from all backgrounds and from all over the city (and the world!) and would love to meet you.
About EcoMatters: Based in Auckland in Aotearoa New Zealand, EcoMatters is an established charitable trust that was formed in 2002. We work with and for the community to deliver environmental initiatives in partnership with key entities like Auckland Council, the Ministry for the Environment, other not-for-profits and community groups. We do this by supporting the community with knowledge and tools to restore nature, reduce waste, ride and fix bikes, and live more sustainably. We also run workshops and provide opportunities for hands-on environmental action in Auckland.
Bring gloves, sturdy shoes or gumboots and a raincoat or hat/sunscreen, and sharp secateurs if you have a pair. Bring own lunch and water.
Fridays 11am-2pm. Please RSVP for location details.
