The Rock Papamoa

The Rock is a thriving Community Garden in the heart of Papamoa. The only one of its kind at this stage, The Rock provides a hub for sustainable and regenerative education, growing healthy food and soil, and building community. It is home to a beautiful Hot House, two beehives, seven large compost heaps, one (soon to be two) Food Forests, a tool shed, two storage and social containers, and much more. The Gardens are a totally communal project, owned and operated by and for the community, and operate under organic and permaculture principles. The main purpose of these beautiful gardens is to bring community together, build communal food resiliency, and teach people how to simply and happily grow their own food in their own backyards. It’s also a place where the community can take ownership of public space, and paint it in their own vibrant vision. It is free for all to be involved, there are no barriers to participation.
