WAIRARAPA MIDWEEK
By Kerri Bowling
After reading about Masterton's new community garden in Wairarapa Midweek last month, Manjot Singh, Masterton Z service station manager, couldn't wait to roll up his sleeves and help with the project.
In fact he was so keen he also contacted Z ambassador Aman Sabharwal and the pair teamed up with Kim McGuckin and Marie McAnulty (both of Wairarapa Supergrans) for a spot of seedling planting.
Marie says there has been an overwhelming response from the public since the story was published, with many businesses and individuals donating items towards the no-dig garden.
"Lansdowne Nursery have given us cabbage, silverbeet and carrot seedlings, while various mowing contractors around town have arranged to drop off their grass clippings. The Men's Shed has offered to supply us with tools, and we even have our very own handyman - Merv Archer - who is donating his time and services," she says.
