Pit Park Working Bee
3rd Sunday of each month, 1:30 - 3:30pm
Tweed St., Roslyn, Palmerston North 4414
This disused quarry adjacent to the historic Hoffmann brick kiln is now a lush urban park visited by native birds. It has easy access paths, seating, and its own wetland. Most of the native plants for this project are being sourced locally. This project began in 1999. Progress on the park continues, with volunteers raising from seed over 1,500 native grasses and shrubs. In addition, volunteers have sourced from the community at no cost over 2,000 native trees and shrubs, which were all planted into the pit.
You are invited to be a part of this project by growing plants, taking part in plantings, assisting with plant maintenance and working parties or anything else you may be able to help with. Help develop the Featherston St Pit Park into a community park that Palmerston North can be proud of. Jobs can be found for all fitness levels; stay for a cuppa afterwards. All welcome.
The Pit Park is at the Vogel Street end of Featherston Street, with entry just before Tweed Street.

Sharing Garden Working Bee
2nd Saturday of each month, 10:30 - 12:30
Every Monday morning, 10:00 - 12:00
40 Duke St, Feilding, Palmerston North 4702
Join the Transition Feilding team at the Sharing Garden for a working bee. The Sharing Garden is located on the corner of North and Duke Street, opposite Feilding High School.
Jobs generally involve weeding, planting and mulching garden beds. There is often a range of things to do, so you can choose one that suits you.Everyone is welcome to join the working bee, for any amount of time.
We don't have any indoor facilities, so we need to come prepared to be out in the hot sun or odd shower of rain. If the weather is really unfavourable, cancellations are notified on the Facebook page.
If you can bring your own garden tools that is helpful, but we also have some to share. If you'd like to contribute but can't join the working bee, a donation of food or refreshments for the workers would be much appreciated. If you'd like to donate plants or other items for the Sharing Garden, these can be left with the caretakers (Trevor and Ellen Witt) at their house over the road from the garden, at 27 Duke Street.
... and of course you are most welcome to take home produce from the garden and Sharing Table.
Any changes to the plans will be posted on Transition Feilding's Facebook Page.
