Project Working Bees

Getting involved with our Community projects through regular working bees is a great way to contribute to your community, promote sustainability, and connect with like minded others in your community. It is also an opportunity to learn new skills. Currrent projects are making Awhio Mai Peke re-useable bags, tending the Urban Edible Planters, and making items for our Sustainable Shop.
