Growing Glenfield: From Market Gardens to Community Gardens invites the community to rediscover the agricultural past of the area.
Long before it became a busy suburb, our landscape was defined by farms, orchards, strawberry fields, glasshouses and citrus groves that fed the wider Auckland region.
Large-scale heritage panels displayed in the Glenfield Community Centre courtyard will connect this local history with practical solutions for modern, sustainable urban growing.
Sessions with Kaipātiki Project include small-space and vertical gardening tips, making it a great day out for families.
This free event celebrates how food-growing, shared knowledge, manaakitanga, and neighbourhood relationships have shaped Glenfield over generations, with the historic Mission Hall available as an indoor backup space if the weather is rainy.
