Our community plant nursery at Matakawau hasn’t missed a beat over summer, with a wonderful number of volunteers helping out – thank you people! Lending a hand in the nursery is a great way to socialise and meet new friends. Every Tuesday and Thursday morning (9.30 to 12.30) we welcome anyone able to donate a few hours of their time. If you are unfamiliar about what happens in a nursery, don’t worry, we’re on hand to help - there are jobs to suit every capability. We’re a friendly lot and we’d love to see you there one day. Sowing a tray of seed and watching it grow into hundreds of healthy young plants, ready to grace the Awhitu environment, is a truly rewarding pastime.
