Kathryn strikes a glamorous pose for the paparazzi - good fun!
and then gets back to work.

Sarah tidies up the Kale
Marita and Clara.
Some of our heritage tomatoes - they may not be pretty - but they're delicious!
Arthur doing a great job of weedeating the pathways.
Plenty of gas to see the job done.
Looking trimmed and terrific.
Meanwhile, Helen our Hugelkulter, rests at peace in the food forest.
Deborah and Bev wrangle the prickly prunings in the food forest.
Long spiky thorns to be very careful of...

Another pile of greens is ready to be processed into compost - our compost bins are the heart of the gardens.
The Mara Kumara garden growing and looking superb.
So beautiful.!
What a precious space for all Aucklanders to be able to come and enjoy.
And what a pleasure it is for our community to care for this land.
Nature's abundance.

Janet and Bill do the 'washing up' - cleaning and recycling our pots.
Our very own action man John makes safe the fallen branch that threatened to collapse the greenhouse.
The semi-collapsed roof has made the greenhouse a 'no-go' area until it is repaired and 'made safe'.
Bev, avoiding the paparazzi - again!
Marita begins work on the chalk sign announcing the Heroic Garden Festival.
The evening working bee was trialled to avoid the heat of the day but it ended up being just as warm in the evening - but the long shadows were superb!
Broccoli growing nicely in John's plot.
David helps relocate the bamboo.
The corn beautifully back-lit.
The herb garden.
Olde fashioned flowers are making a comeback - and rightly so.
Great job Marita.
Arthur packs up and cools down after completing the edges.
Some of today's allotment harvest.
Thanks to everyone who was able to make it along. A magical and satisfying evening working bee was had by all.
