EcoFest Ostend Garden Working Bee

Whether you have your own gardening space already or not, come and spend time outside with other locals at Ostend Community Garden!

Share gardening knowledge, make neighbourhood connections, and increase your physical and mental wellbeing. At Ostend Garden people come together once a month so that members can take care of their own allotted plots with company, do bigger jobs like mulching, fruit harvesting, and caring for the GROW beds. The produce in these goes straight to the GROW stall at Ostend Market every Saturday, to increase access to affordable fresh fruit and veggies and raise funds that go back into the community gardens.

Tools provided, but BYO gloves if you have them. All ages and experience levels welcome. Bring snacks to share for the morning tea at the end.

This event is part of EcoFest, an annual month-long festival taking place Friday 15 March – Sunday 14 April 2024. Inspiring climate action across Tāmaki Makaurau, it is hosted in collaboration by EcoMatters, Kaipātiki Project, Beautification Trust and Waiheke Resources Trust, and proudly supported by Auckland Council.
