Thanks to our friends Yolanda and Len for inviting us to "get back to the garden" and play our music in service of advocating for the preservation of the Sanctuary Community Organic Garden:

"This majestic green space, located by the Unitec Mt Albert campus, is home to more than 400 species of plants and trees. The fertile soil and beautiful surrounds have been providing food and enjoyment for centuries to creatures and humans. It is a green avenue for the public accessing the Oakley Creek/Te Auaunga Walkway.

Since 2011, the space has operated as a successful organic community garden and food forest, run by volunteers, in partnership arrangements. It is located by the Unitec Institute of Technology campus at Mt Albert, Auckland, on land now under the ownership of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development. Over 60 members and their families are directly involved. In June 2017 the group became an Incorporated Society and charitable organisation.

The Sanctuary Mahi Whenua is recognised as the space of many sustainability firsts for Auckland. These include the city's first multi-layered food forest, the first engineered swale and the first ecostructures.

The future of the Sanctuary Mahi Whenua gardens and food forest was seemingly assured in the proposed new Land for Housing development at Unitec (now known as the Carrington Development), announced 25 March 2018. Nearly 6500 supporters signed our petition -- and our action group worked hard to achieve this result to preserve the area we all were striving for, but at times seemed near impossible.
However, we were told at the end of 2023 that the whole area of the Sanctuary Mahi Whenua is to be built over for housing."

We hope a solution can be found to preserve this beautiful urban piece of green paradise... May we know what we've got before it's gone 🌻🌻🌻
