Guerilla Gardening kicks off Community Week

Grey Lynn 2030 Week: Sunday 21 March – Saturday 27 March 2010

The inaugural Grey Lynn 2030 Week starts this Sunday with a full programme of diverse, inspiring, original and fun events & activities. There is something for everyone – all happening locally.
Here are just some of the highlights:

• Mark World Water Day and support Oxfam at an exclusive screening of Tapped the movie at TAPAC
• Try something new with an introduction to meditation class
• Celebrate the Autumn Equinox
• Treat yourself to a cycle (or carpool!) tour of local artist studios
• Find out how to raise chooks in your own backgarden on a walking tour
• Learn how to save money and water with Laurie Dee at the Grey Lynn Farmers Market
• Visit our local community gardens
• Enjoy the last of our summer evenings with family and friends at the West Lynn Street Party & Twilight Market
