Free workshop: "Know Your Vining Weeds" Sunday 20 September, 1.00 to 3.00 pm Onehunga Peoples Garden, 64 Arthur Street

Moth plant. Madeira vine. Blue morning glory. Japanese honeysuckle. If you live in Onehunga, at least one of these is growing over something you care about right now.

Come and learn to tell them apart, how to remove them properly, and what to do with the material afterwards. Every pod, tuber and vine fragment left behind can start a new plant, which is why so much weeding quietly makes the problem worse.

Supported by the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board.

We'll be planting these toetoe a little later than usual this Sunday 12-2pm to make space for the World Cup decider happening in the morning. The 50+ toetoe from Pourewa nurseries in Ōrakei can't wait to populate the verge by Arthur Street. Hope to see you!

The drizzle has made it very slippery on the bank we were aiming to work on today folks so we've made the call to put off the scheduled working bee this morning. We'll get the toetoe planted on the Arthur St. Street bank as soon as it's safe to do so!

Enjoy your Sunday morning and keep warm!

Last Sunday's working bee was a harakeke (flax) wānanga led by our local resident weaver Mason Lawlor. We learned a lot about the varieties and uses of our harakeke stands and how to harvest and care for them in the right way. Mahia te mahi, hei painga mō te whenua - Work for the benefit of the land. Mauri ora!
