Month: July 2025

Kia ora koutou,

Happy Rāhina/Monday! It seems like our spell of fine, settled weather is passing and being replaced by wild winds and incoming rain. Stay warm, stay dry, and enjoy a slower week of indoor activities.

We are cancelling tomorrow’s Tuesday AM working bee due to forecast heavy rain, however if you’d like to still do some gardening this week read on for info on tree planting at Pourewa this Saturday.

Kia ora koutou,

Thanks to those that came along for our kids school holiday session last week. How fantastic it was to have a māra filled with the humming energy of tamariki hunting for snails! The Growing Point team have also just finished and submitted our final Hua Parakore diary that marks the completion of our Puāwai year – one (giant) step closer to becoming fully verified in time for the māra’s 10 year anniversary 💕

We’re also kicking off our first Microscopy & Compost course session on Tuesday, so it’s set to be a busy week.
