Spend the afternoon at your local urban farm, and celebrate 10 years of collective climate action with us!

Transformed from a neglected and unloved plot of scrubland hidden behind the hospital, to the flourishing farm and educational hub we know and love today - Kaicycle couldn’t have done it without the immeasurable mahi of all the staff, volunteers, subscribers, donors and funders over the years. And now, it's time to celebrate!

Please note:

Public transport is recommended as there is no public parking available on Hospital Road - all parks are privately owned by the Hospital. Otherwise, we recommend parking on Adelaide Road / at the Wilson carpark on Hall Street and walking down.

In the event of wet weather, the venue will be changed to the Newtown Community Centre / Te Whare Hapori o Nga Puna Waiora.

It's Te Wiki o te Reo Māori!

For this volunteer session, come along and help out on the māra and give te reo Māori a go.

We'll have some areas in the māra / garden where we speak te reo Māori only, and others where English is allowed - so, whatever your reo Māori level, come along to kōrero, learn some useful phrases in the māra and share a kapu tī and keke (cup of tea and cake).

We may even play Tākaro taiao edition (if it's not too windy)!

The kaimahi / workers at Kaicycle are learning too, so there's no pressure, we'll all be muddling through! Karawhiua - give it a go!

Please note, we have bees on site.
