28 September 2024

Our collaborative group, Friends of Molley Green Reserve, invites you to participate in the food forest maintenance at Mount Roskill's Molley Green Reserve.

A Forest of Food for Everyone, created by the locals to work collectively to cultivate kai, share knowledge, skills, stories and recipes in the Eco-neighbourhoods.

Much maintenance work is needed to make the food garden sustainable for the community to have greater access to healthy food. You will be volunteering in weeding, seed raising, mulching, composting, planting and more.
