A fantastic day had by all!   Gardens4Health leader Ali has put together this excellent summary report describing the amazing efforts by all

The Gardens4Health Tāmaki Makaurau Harvest Festival was a celebration of community māra kai in our network, and the people dedicated to growing delicious, nourishing food for their communities.
