Every Sunday afternoon (as long as its not too wet) from 2-4pm in winter and 4-6pm in summer, a group of Kaiti residents meet up the back of Te Poho o Rawiri Marae to work on Titirangi Community Garden.
This is a plot of land that has been set aside since 2008 for local residents to grow vegetables on. We have older people teaching younger people how to grow their own food.
In August 2008 we prepared the soil, started composting and planted strawberries, onions, garlic, broccoli, le ttuce and spinach. In Spring we added parareka (potatoes), corn, courge ttes, carrots, tomatoes, beans, pumpkin and watermelon.
Summer came and went as we harvested most crops and in Autumn we’re preparing the soil again and expanding the area of the garden.
Anyone is welcome to join in and share the harvest – bring garden tools or use the ones we have available to share.
