We’re super excited to be partnering with the Home of Compassion in Island Bay to grow a field of pumpkins!
People are hungrier than ever, prices are higher than ever and we want to do our bit, so we’re growing carbohydrates en masse to fill bellies and nourish the wairua of those that are struggling to access kai. We'll be doing this by growing a bumper crop of pumpkins, which will then be given to the Home of Compassion’s Soup Kitchen and other groups feeding the community. Help us to get pumpkins to hungry people and grow urban kai resilience while we're at it!
In September we did that mammoth task of shifting compost and setting up the planting plots. This time, our focus will be on getting the pumpkin plants in the ground. Exciting!
📍 Home of Compassion, Rhine Street, Island Bay
🗓️ Next working bee: Wednesday 28th October, 10am-1pm and then ongoingly on the last Wednesday of the month during Spring and Summer.

Mulch makes a huge difference to soil and plant health. It protects the soil surface from weeds, erosion and moisture loss while also feeding worms and microbial life. Instead of buying pea straw or wood chip, there are many plants we can grow to use as mulch - from cannas and lupin to kawakawa and buckwheat. At Kaicycle we are planting a large mulch/flower/pollinator border to support our veggies. Come and learn how to apply this in your own gardens.
This is a hands-on workshop, learning through doing, so please wear garden-suitable footwear and clothing.

This event is hosted as part of Climate Festival Pōneke 2026 & Composting Awareness Week.
It’s well known that composting is a lot better than throwing food scraps in landfill - reducing greenhouse gas emissions, returning nutrients to the soil, improving soil health and microbiology, sequestering carbon in the soil, and growing more kai. But... composting still produces greenhouse gas emissions. The recipe and the composting method used can hugely affect the amount of greenhouse gases emitted during the decomposition of organic materials, and the quality and biological composition of the resulting compost can have climate implications too.
Join us at Kaicycle Urban Farm to learn about a range of composting methods and the climate impact they have, and find out what practical techniques you can use to minimise emissions from composting at home and make the most healthy compost possible.
1:00PM - FARM TOUR
If you haven't been to our urban farm before, this is a great opportunity to find out what we're all about and how our farm and community composting works, before the workshop starts.

Join us at Kaicycle Urban Farm to learn how to regenerate the whenua and take climate action in your backyard!
This will be a hands-on working bee where you'll have the chance to get your hands in the dirt and take some tangible climate action, while learning some great regenerative growing skills on the way.
Tasks will depend on what needs doing on the day, but these might include weeding, planting out, building compost piles, and planting seeds. Our hard mahi will be followed by a shared lunch so please bring some kai to share if you can! This working bee will be followed by a koha composting workshop at 1.30pm.
Come along for as much or as little of the day as you would like! Here’s the plan for the day:
9:30am - 12.30pm COMMUNITY WORKING BEE - Registrations required.
Growing local kai in ways that are good for the whenua is climate action. Come and get your hands in the māra, learn some skills, and meet some cool people. Please register at www.kaicycle.org.nz/volunteer

1:30pm - 3:00pm KOHA WORKSHOP: INTRODUCTION TO SEED SAVING We know many of you couldn’t make it to our seed saving workshop in March, so we’re going to run it again for April! Seed saving is an ancient practice and an essential tool in creating a circular and resilient food system and enabling kai sovereignty. It also allows us to select for seed that will thrive in our micro-climates, strengthening crops year by year. We'll wānanga about the importance of saving seed, understanding the whakapapa of seeds and plant reproduction, and what you need to know to start saving seed yourself. We'll put our learnings into practice at the farm, saving and processing seed from our summer crops. We will have an area for swapping seed, so please bring along any saved seed you would like to swap.
Registrations required - email community@kaicycle.org.nz to sign up
This is a koha workshop and we ask you to pay what you can afford. If that’s a gold coin that is completely fine! If you can afford more we really appreciate it - we are a charity and rely on donations to be able to carry out our mahi. Koha can be paid in cash or by bank transfer.

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.
In this practical workshop, we’ll teach you everything you need to know to grow great seedlings from seed.
