Kerikeri Village

The Potting Shed Group

The Potting Shed Group meets every Thursday at 10.30am, on The Village Green for gardening chit chat, morning tea & biscuits, garden safari walks, sowing seeds, creative gardening and some vitamin D. All in all, it s great for participant's health and wellbeing.

The day always begins with a coffee and a chat before the day’s activity is revealed.

Each week brings something new and gardening related. The group are a creative lot and have recently enjoyed:

  • Creating hanging baskets which now adorn theTui courtyard garden
  • Sowing autumn/winter veggie seeds. The seedlings were then planted in the Pavilion vegetable garden during a working bee, and the veggies will be there for everyone to enjoy
  • Sweet pea teepees were made which we look forward to seeing blossom in the sprin
  • Lavender was dried and used to make scented lavender bags to hang in wardrobes or placed in drawers
  • Autumn leaves and flowers were pressed, dried & and made into bookmarks which are being sold at Reception

 Think you might enjoy The Potting Shed group? Come join us! We’d love to see you on The Village Green - no gardening experience needed, just a sense of fun required.
