Ngahere o te Ora – Haumanu Community Garden

𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧’𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲?
You can find it located down the lane behind between the Carterton Clock Tower and Carters (access from SH2 beside Carters)

This stemmed from a community-led project to showcase a community garden that Carterton can be proud of – an artistic and functional food garden that not only provides food for the Carterton Food Bank and other community organisations, but also enables opportunities for valuable social connections and learning in the community.

Originally started by Carterton’s youth group Rangatahi to Rangatira (R2R),  the project is now being led in partnership with Wai Art, Resilient Carterton, Wairarapa Herb Society and Council.  As well as producing vegetables, fruits and herbs, the garden will be a beautiful space that fosters volunteering, networking and mentoring opportunities, and offers educational learning experiences across ages, sectors and cultures.

The garden has been brought back to life again this year by a new group of volunteers made up of residents who wanted to see some more activity in the gardens. Ka mau te wehi!
