Marton Community garden

Marton Community garden Shared garden for the Marton Community, New Zealand. This is always a fun morning and we try and incorporate some learning opportunities as well.

The Marton Community Garden aims to not only provide free organic food for the community but also a space for workshops and information sharing. This includes teaching others how to grow their own fruit, herbs and vegetables, food preservation techniques, hosting fruit tree giveaways and information sharing events. The community garden is also the home of our wagon and our community fr

uit and vegetable stand where people can share their excess food or take what they need. A working bee is held on the second Saturday of the month between 9am – 11am and you don't need any experience or tools if you don't have any. Everyone is welcome kids included, and the garden is fully fenced so come on down we would love to see you there! Marton Community Garden would like to thank Marton Mitre 10 & the Rangitikei District Council for their ongoing support of our work.

If you have been down to the garden recently you might have seen some of out new climbing frames erected by one of our amazing volunteers Ken.
This means we can grow even more climbing vegetables over summer.
There is a working bee this Saturday from 9am if you are able to lend a hand.

Thanks to all our volunteers who came to the garden and those who came for a visit to see how they could help or get involved.
We have lots of pak choy that is ready for harvest all around the garden. To harvest gently pull up the whole plant and shake off the dirt.
Great great in stir fry, as a steamed green and used in place of silverbeet.

To keep feeding the community we need to make sure we have a continuous supply of seeds growing.
We will be holding a seed sowing session combined by a shared lunch in the next few weeks and are looking for volunteers. This is an all ages activity and will be out of the weather.
If you are keen to be involved please comment below so we can keep you updated.

A huge thank you to my Nga Tawa School helpers who helped create some signs for the garden as part of their 40 hour famine volunteer time.
They also brought along some delicious baking made by other students for our volunteers.
The signs will help people identify what's growing and the baking will be a lovely reward at our next working bee.
