When Otahuhu College shared their vision for a school mara kai (food garden), the Bunnings team stepped in to help build 65 no-dig garden beds. The community-driven project was a collaboration between students, teachers and parents from Otahuhu College and neighbouring Papatoetoe East School The project aims to find out the best way to grow tropical crops in Auckland and discover which varieties are the most palatable. Many of the students have a connection to gardening traditions from the Pacific Islands and have been encouraged to share their knowledge and culture through this project. The community garden project creates a resource for the entire community and a hands-on learning opportunity for students. Bunnings donated materials and our team was happy to pitch in with building and advice. 3 4 D4 ia Rotorua, NZ Maraeroa Mahinga Kai is a community garden created in 2010 as a space for teaching, learning and reconnecting. The community garden has 24 planter boxes, built and maintained by Kai Rotorua, with whom they have an ongoing partnership. Representatives from Maraeroa Mahinga Kai reached out to the Bunnings Rotorua team to share their plans for upgrades to the maara kai (food garden) to benefit the community. Working alongside the Maraeroa Mahinga Kai volunteers, our team members supported the upgrades and participated in a working bee to build a shed, new garden seating, shaded areas, and help with seasonal planting. Bunnings Rotorua also donated products to help bring the plans to life.
