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:

• Ellens mushroom workshop at Kelmarna.
• Ange is running her Bokashi workshop at Daldy Street tomorrow at 12.30.
• Keep up with events and news by signing up to the FTLoB’s newsletter.
