Tēnā koutou katoa,

Tēnā koutou katoa,

We welcome you to join us for our first working-bee at Te Māra ki te Rangi, Te Papa's garden in the sky.

We will be using this time to plant some more things in the māra, share ideas of what we can grow as well as induct anyone who would like to be involved in the māra as a volunteer.

This is a drop-in and out event, you are welcome to stay for the duration or come and go as needed.

A current vaccine pass is required for entry to the museum as well as signing in at the entrance with either the covid app or the manual sign-in sheet at the counter.

We will also have a manual attendee sign-up sheet where you can leave your details to stay up to date with actions and activities in the māra, or you can do it via the button below.

Looking forward to seeing you there,

Ngā mihi

Come and join us for a working bee in the All Saints Garden!

We will be thinning out some of the crowded veggies growing by transferring veg into new garden beds.

Please bring a rain jacket and yummy beverage of your choice, did someone say post gardening beer?

We will work on, regardless of the weather.

Last working bee before Christmas!

Kia ora tatou, 

We would love you to join us for our very first Te Māramatanga Garden Hui! 

You have been identified as someone connected to the Te Whanganui-a-Tara food security movement and we’d be thrilled to have you along on this journey with us. What garden? Where? Let me tell you! 

Located between MacDonald Cresent and Ghuznee St is our very own inner-city garden. Te Māramatanga is a revitalisation of the Ministry of Transport-owned land above the Terrace Tunnel.

Just down the road from the māra is BGI. We run programmes, projects, and events which support and inspire our local rangatahi and their families. Our Community Kitchen is central to everything that we do. It's our chef, Michael Person, who's been spearheading the development of our regenerative orchard and urban kai garden, Te Māramatanga. These are spaces for growing nourishing kai and building skills, but also for fostering social unity. 

We know our windy village is already home to an active network of kai communities working towards just and nurturing food futures. We envision the future of Te Māramatanga as an integrated part of our local food security landscape. That’s why we are reaching out to you, the existing network of individuals, organisations and communities working to make food security a reality in our city. Our hope is that together we can identify opportunities for collaboration and cross-pollinate

You might already be going “hell yeah” while reading this or maybe you just want to come along and see what the hype is all about. Either way, cool! Whether you’re keen to get involved in the future of this garden or fancy spending an afternoon in the company of our city’s kai community, we’d love to see you there! 

Looking forward to meeting you all :)
