Te Maara Parish Community Garden
The well established community gardens are tucked away in the grounds of St Columba Church behind the church's community centre.
We are a small, co-operative group of dedicated gardeners with an emphasis on edibles. The gardens are wholly organic with no artificial sprays or fertilisers used.
We are always looking for keen volunteers. Please do get in touch through the St Columba
