The weather was terrible but participants were cosy and dry out of the rain for a successful first workshop in our new education shelter at the St Mary's Community Garden in Hāwera! Mieke shared her immense knowledge with the group on different composting options and ways to deal with everyday organic materials - from cardboard to vacuum cleaner lint and everything in between!

Whether it's making your own soap or creating a cooked meal with produce from the garden we would love to hear from you!

Working Bee at St Mary’s: 1st Friday & 2nd Sunday of each month, 1pm - 3pm. Visit their Facebook page here.
