The Rock is a community garden focused on feeding local families with sustainable produced produce Then do a few hours together gardening. Can you help us?

The Rock is a thriving Community Garden in the heart of Papamoa, located Between 51 & 53 Hartford Ave Papamoa. The Rock provides a hub for sustainable education, growing good food, and building community. It is home to a beautiful Hot House, a beehive, seven large compost heaps, one (soon to be two) Food Forests, a tool sheds, two storage and social containers, and much more. The Gardens are a totally communal project, owned and operated by and for the community, and operate under organic and permaculture principles. We meet every month on the second Sunday at the garden Shed at 10am. Feel free to come down and get involved in any way you see fit, just give Rex our Garden Coordinator a call (details below) and he will give you the grand tour! There are avenues for all interests and skillsets - gardening is not the only thing that happens at the Gardens! The community needs artists, builders, welders, designers, musicians, accountants, growers, communicators, everyone! The community gardens are managed by The Rock Papamoa Charitable Trust, which accepts donations and distributes those funds to various projects. Contact Chris below and we can get you and your team involved. Bill chairs the Trust and also coordinates our media activity. Bills details listed below. The Garden Committee, made up of between six and ten community members, is tasked with keeping the Gardens heading in the right direction. Rex Cotter is our current Garden Coordinator - Being at the ground most often, and are happy to facilitate activities and events. All our positions are entirely voluntary. This crew of community members is always on the lookout for more people to take on roles that go beyond maintaining the Gardens, such as taking on a certain organisational aspect, or looking after the accounts, or managing the Gardens online presence. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you are interested in helping out in new and interesting ways! The main purpose of these beautiful gardens is to bring community together, build communal food resiliency, and teach people how to simply and happily grow their own food in their own back yards. By getting involved in this project, you can effectively remove vegetables from your shopping list. It’s fun, it’s easy, and the food is free! Contact Details:
