Mount Eden community celebration & garden opening

Our response to climate change is to 'think global, act local'.

We, the Mount Eden Village People (TT Mt Eden) are inviting you to a celebration of community achievement. Be part of the start of the new community garden, talk to expert Ken Clark and learn about maximum food production on a small scale, learn how to build a compost, bring your kids for the treasure hunt and seed planting. This is what we have come up with for the day:

2.00pm
Easy Composting for kids and adults: Collected food waste from our local shops will be used to build a compost system for our community garden.

Get your hands dirty: Dig in and be one of the first to plant in our new community garden
