Seedy Sunday
Next meeting – Sunday 18 October - 2pm - Paraparaumu Memorial Hall, Cnr Tutanekai & Aorangi Sts, Paraparaumu.
What is Seedy Sunday?
It’s a relaxed gathering for those who garden, or want to learn about gardening, growing food and sustainability, to share ideas and inspiration.
Learn from the locals - find out how they overcame some of the problems you may be facing now. Get ideas and inspiration and learn how to grow food for your family. Be a part of a community of gardeners who are rediscovering self-sufficiency and enjoy the benefits of organically grown vegetables and fruit.
What should I bring?
– Koha (to cover hall hire),
– Your questions and experience,
– A friend (we want to encourage everyone to garden),
– Something to swap/share – some seeds, plants, produce.
When?
We meet at 2pm on the third Sunday of every month at the Paraparaumu Memorial Hall, Cnr Tutanekai & Aorangi Sts, Paraparaumu.
Want to get involved?
Seedy Sunday is a casual group - anyone is welcome, there are no membership fees. We’d love to see you!
Anna Butterfield is the co-ordinator. If you have any questions, or would like to speak at one of our meetings, please contact her at loveplantlife(replace this with an @ sign)gmail.com
Seedy Sunday Exchange
When people come in they can ‘check-in’ items that they wish to swap, receiving tokens in return. There will be someone sorting what is brought in into divisions and deciding on the amount of tokens to be given in exchange. The token doesn’t denote a monetary value, just a swap item (see suggestions below). Amounts will be generalised.
After everything has been checked in the swap table will be open for swapping.
Suggestions for a ‘token’ would be a packet of seeds (please label seeds with as much info as you have), a head of lettuce, a potted vege seedling, a potted herb cutting, a bunch of fresh herbs, a couple of lemons etc.
To get the exchange underway, I have suggested a limit of 10 items, so that there is a good variety and no one feels indebted by the exchange. Hopefully this will be increased as the meetings get rolling.
