At the end of a tumultuous year 2020 we came together for another kai tahi on 11 November at the Community Center in Point Chev. Again, the food was delicious with hot baked beans, couscous and herbs, a tasty spinach/asparagus salad, heaps of guacamole and fruit salad. After a yummy dinner and tidy up we retreated to our monthly meeting discussing our Mission Statement for Transition Town Point Chevalier which we would like to review on our last meeting of this year on 9 December – we hope you can make it!

Last week we had an amazing treat from the Whenua Warrior Wahine, Kelly, Holly and Ayla who ran the Maramataka workshop supported by Auckland Council Waste Minimisation Fund. It was fantastic to host them at the garden where they shared their knowledge of gardening via the moon which I’m sure will benefit the garden and everyone who came alone.
Other events coming up:
