Learn to grow vegies with Hand Over a Hundy
Families in East Christchurch are being challenged to grow their own vegetables as part of the Hand over a Hundy scheme.
The scheme is particularly aimed at families with children aged 12-24.
Participants are sponsored a hundy (or $100) to buy all the essentials for their gardens and have the option to meet with a gardening mentor. The aim is to recoup this money through savings or selling extra produce so they can hand over a hundy or $100 to a new family at the end of the year.
The aims of the project are to:
equip families with knowledge to pass to the next generation.
promote and support the health of families and the wider community, by encouraging people to grow their own food.
be an authoritive voice for health and change aroung food and education for families and children.
use the wider community to share their knowledge, experience, education in a fun and interactive way, connecting generations.
