Te Manawhenua Challenge
A Journey into Organic Food Gardening for Youth and Whanau
Taitokerau Organic Producers (TOPIS) is once again running this very popular gardening challenge. Entries are now being accepted from school, marae, hapu/whanau and community groups who are working on mara kai - food gardens - initiated by young people.
The garden can be any size and the young gardeners can call on help and expertise from their elders, returning some of the produce in exchange for that gardening wisdom of course!The gardens will be assessed in the last 2 weeks of May, with a prize-giving scheduled in June, during Maatariki.
For the entry form and criteria, see the file below, or go to www.topis.co.nz
