Kia ora koutou,
It was so good to have your friendly faces in the māra with us yesterday for Pizza Sunday and the cover crop workshop, such a great day. Enjoy a few snaps below. Read on for a summary of Bex’s approach in the centre patch, plus an exciting update on preorders for our upcoming kūmara booklet.
Kia ora koutou,
Good news! Thanks to some excellent ingenuity and a fast fix by Aussie and Hans, our Pizza event is back on this Sunday. They quickly repaired the cob oven’s chimney, which had been damaged in the recent cyclone, and it’s been tested out – works a treat.
So… see you in the māra for a slice of pizza and a catch up!
11am – cover crop workshop with Bex
12pm – pizzas served
2pm – wrapping up
BYO toppings to contribute, we’ll provide GF bases and sauces. Mauri ora x
Kia ora koutou,
It’s been a busy week, so there’s lots in this newsletter! Read on for an update on the compost, a change of plans for the end-of-month pizza event, and a look at Te Pourewa’s kūmara harvest (plus an opportunity to pre-order an exciting booklet).
First off the rank, news about our upcoming pizza event.
Unfortunately, due to the recent cyclone and wild winds, the chimney for our pizza oven has collapsed. While we’ll absolutely rebuild it (pizza + Dignan St is non-negotiable), it’s not happening in the next week. As such, our upcoming Sunday event is now…
Kia ora koutou,
What a weekend. We hope you’ve all stayed safe and dry as the cyclone passed through. Sending love, and fast-draining vibes, to our friends further south who bore the brunt of the wild weather.
In good news, our kids screenprinting session is going ahead tomorrow! Despite a bit of rain in the forecast, it feels like the right time to gather and do something creative together!
Tuesday 10am – 12pm
Bring along an old t-shirt or fabric to print on. See you there.
Kia ora koutou,
Happy Easter weekend. Whether Easter is a significant time for you, or simply a long weekend, we hope it has been an enriching few days with whānau and friends as the natural world around you slowly cools and settles into its restful season.
There’s a definite shift in the māra now. Softer mornings, more moisture in the soil, and the feeling of the garden gently drawing inward after the fullness of summer.
