Groups connect over sustainable soup

Last week, our Garden Group and Environmental Group came together for a shared lunchtime of kai, conversation, and connection — a merging of two teams who care deeply about our whenua.

The initiative by Amanda Hookham, Community Gardens Coordinator at EcoMatters Environment Trust in New Lynn, who has been working closely with our Environmental Group. She saw a natural opportunity to bring both groups together to connect over their shared kaupapa.

The delicious soup served on the day was made almost entirely from vegetables grown and harvested by the Garden Group. Paired with warm, freshly baked sourdough, it made for a hearty, wholesome meal that everyone enjoyed. Thanks so much, Amanda!
