Whangārei Timebankers were out and about at the official opening of Kāinga Ora’s new homes on the Avenues.
Jeannette, Harvey, Clare, Nicholas and Janey were invited by Zephyr, the Community Development & Engagement Manager, to introduce He Awhi Rito Envirohub (H.A.R.E.) and its community gardens.
Kapa haka was performed by the award-winning group from Hora Hora Primary School.
There are 95 homes in the development which is the largest of its kind in Northland.
Outdoor space is limited so the possibility of residents using H.A.R.E.’s raised beds to grow veggies is being explored.
