This is a hub for the Pukerua Bay Community Garden - lively discussions,

organising events, planning sessions and working bees, and sharing of ideas

Proposed garden site in Muri Reserve
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Pukerua Bay Residents' Association have proposed
|
|
a location for the community garden, in the Muri Reserve behind the closed Muri
|
|
train station, as indicated on the map. There is a
|
|
`Google map with more details here <http://goo.gl/Odu8Wx>`_.
|
|
|
|
The idea of a community garden in Pukerua Bay has been around for a while, but
|
|
has gathered steam over the last couple of years. I'd like to really help us
|
|
get it off the ground by gathering a quorum of interested and willing folks,
|
|
to plan the next steps.
