Homes for Everyone

Although the weather has been amazing lately, winter is now officially here and this week seemed a good time to think about ways of keeping things warm in our garden environment. So…we got busy and built two different homes. Our student gardeners started construction on a bug hotel behind Mr Rieger’s shed, and at the same time some of the adult volunteers put our new greenhouse up. Now we have a critter palace full of all sorts of nooks and crannies for the bugs, and a warm, dry place to grow and nurture our plants.

Thank you to everyone who pitched in to help, and to Tauranga City Council’s Community Development Match Fund, whose grant allowed us to purchase the greenhouse. It’s going to make a huge difference to our garden and will allow so many more learning opportunities for our young gardeners.
