Community, Gardens and Kai - The Welly Urban Food Org.
- Sustainability Trust Wellington
- With the end of June been and gone, our funding to run the Welly Urban Food Org. has come to an end. But, our involvement doesn't end here. We'll still be active advocates and supporters of urban agriculture in our city, it just changes slightly (keep an eye out for all our upcoming responsible composting workshops). Firstly, we must say a huge thank you to Sustainability Trust educators Laura-Kate Howells, Nina Atkinson, Caroline Arrowsmith and Asia Brownlie for their contributions in the early days of the programme. We also greatly appreciate the Wellington City Council for providing the funding for our urban agriculture programme since 2017 - we're lucky to have a local council who are keen to invest in our food system and building community around kai.
