The Rotary Club of Rotorua North visited the thriving community garden at the Hindu Heritage Centre on 25 March 2026, celebrating a shared commitment to community wellbeing, sustainability, and social connection. The visit highlighted the important role the garden plays in bringing people together across cultures and generations, creating a vibrant space where knowledge is shared, healthy living is promoted, and a strong sense of belonging is fostered.

Members of the Rotary Club were welcomed and given a guided tour of the garden, where they engaged with volunteers and learned about ongoing initiatives supporting families, seniors, and youth. The visit was facilitated by Sandy Cleland and Thomas O’Leary, who provided insights into the garden’s development and impact.

The Hindu Council of New Zealand thanked the Rotary Club of Rotorua North for its $1,800 contribution towards seeds, seedlings, garden mix, and related resources.
