Māehe / March is Neighbours Month, so we’d love to invite you to join us for a working bee in the māra / garden, followed by a shared veggie lunch, featuring veggies harvested from the farm! All welcome. We'll do some gardening activities - planting, weeding, sowing seeds or other tasks as needed at the time.

Registrations essential, so we know how much kai to prepare - sign up at kaicycle.org.nz/volunteer and choose the Friday 20th March 10am-12pm session.

Any pātai / questions, or dietary requirements? Email us on community@kaicycle.org.nz

Join Shaz for Raumati/Summer Yoga in the Māra at Kaicycle Farm in March. Class runs 5.30-6.45pm. Koha class - pay what feels good.

Spaces are limited so please register by emailing wildhumannature1@gmail.com or messaging Shaz on Instagram @wildhuman.nature

This vinyasa flow practice focuses on linking breath with movement to help participants slow down, tune in, and settle into the body. With options to scale intensity up or down, the practice welcomes all levels. We’ll explore fluid movement, intentional breath, and moments of stillness that support nervous-system regulation and mental clarity. Come as you are. Leave feeling a little more centered, spacious, and connected.

Please bring:
Yoga mat + a towel (for under your mat for protection if needed)
Warm layers
Water bottle
Cash for koha if you're able to
If you can't pay - still come along! Or if you can pay extra for someone who can't, that's much appreciated. Either bring cash or feel free to do a bank transfer to: S AUDIBERT, 06-0705-0561596-00

Please note that we do have bee-hives on site if these pose a concern for you.

Parking outside the farm is largely reserved for Hospital staff. If you are driving we recommend parking elsewhere in Newtown and walking to the farm so please allow time for this. The undercover parking at the Newtown Woolworths works well.

1:30pm - 3:00pm KOHA WORKSHOP: GROWING FROM SEED
Please register by emailing community@kaicycle.org.nz

Propagating plants from seed is an excellent way to grow vegetables cheaply, is extremely satisfying, and means you can grow seedlings that are acclimated to your garden’s micro climate. This practical workshop covers everything you need to know to grow great seedlings, from seed anatomy, which seeds to buy, when your plants are ready to go out into the big wide world, and everything in between.

Learn about the basics of composting with our very own Liam Prince on Wednesday 26th 3:30-5pm.

As part of the Pukehīnau Community Garden Wednesday workshop series organised by Te Toi Mahana and the tenants of the Pukehīnau and Central Park complexes.

FREE event. All are welcome. Contact Marama at 022 422 0051 for more details.

Huge thanks to Wellington City Council for funding this great community effort!

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.
