Shetland Street Garden

Description

Dunedin Environment Centre Trust is all about growing good things—ideas, connections, and kai! We’re a hub for environmental education, community kōrero, and hands-on conservation projects. Think old-school hippie vibes with a modern twist—our gardens are chemical-free and full of heart. We’re here to help Dunedin embrace sustainable living, one seed at a time.

Join us for a hands-on intro to our gardens and conservation mahi! 🌿
You might find yourself:

• Planting veggies and herbs

• Prepping and sowing seeds

• Tending to seedlings and propagating plants

• Maintaining our seed collections

• Getting stuck into some good old-fashioned weeding

It’s a great way to connect with nature, meet like-minded folks, and learn heaps along the way!
