Awapuni Community Garden

The Awapuni Community Gardens offer land access for growing food and an opportunity to share knowledge and resources. The gardens work on an allotment-style where individuals (usually families) take ‘ownership’ of a bed to grow food for themselves. There are also some shared community beds at the gardens. There are over 50 families and groups involved in the Awapuni Community Gardens. These gardens are administered by the Pascal Street Community Trust.

History: The Awapuni Community Gardens began in September 2011 as the Crewe Community Gardens at a site in Crewe Crescent. After housing development forced a relocation, the gardens were established at the Awapuni site in December 2018.
