Kai Waiheke's Paenga-whāwhā | April pānui is here!

We look back at last weekend's fabulous kai-related events, share resources, and invite you to contribute to Waiheke's foodscape and socialise with other like-minded folks by volunteering.

If you can't give your time, think about other ways that you can get involved - do you have knowledge to share? Materials? Pūtea? Let's support our local food producers, growers and makers together!

Are you coming 'round to the Kai Conscious Café today? It's also the perfect time to get some locally-grown seedlings to plant in your garden!

Kai Gardens is a community-led initiative run through WRT to increase food resilience on Waiheke by running free gardening workshops open to all and selling affordably-priced seedlings. Proceeds go back into the project, and we're grateful to all the volunteers that enable us to keep it going so successfully (we're in our 4th year!).

Our lettuce and perpetual spinach are ready to adorn your garden beds, the basil are keen to perfume your kai, and we've got some exciting purple kohlrabi to lend some sweet crunch to your salads and stir frys!

💛 $3.50 per punnet
💚 $2.50 per punnet for community groups
🩵 $1.00 for individual seedlings

We will have more seedlings as the season progresses. Look forward to seeing you at the Waiheke Sustainability Centre, 1A Mako St any weekday 9am-5pm to make your purchase 😊

(Psssst we have local compost and crushed shell for sale, too!)
