Awatea Community Garden

Welcome to Awatea Community Garden

We are a bunch of locals who believe in food not lawn mowers, we saw this lovely piece of Whenua and fell in love with the sun filled, warm sheltered, unused land. 

We garden on a Wednesday 11am-3pm and once your allotment is established you can come any day that suits. It's a lovely piece of Kindergarten land in Rānui, Porirua.  We aim to provide "a neutral space of belonging, purpose, evolution and Whakapapa." 

We are a diverse group looking to create gardening education, community connection, allotments and visions of a forest garden. We are decolonizing the whenua and aligning with the Maramataka.

We provide both food, education and growing opportunities towards kai and soil sovereignty.   We are a welcoming group who want to create an inclusive space for all our community.
