    Volunteers Clean up Community Garden in Havelock

    • Volunteers from Hawke's Bay congregations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints converged on Mangarau Gardens on 23 March to provide much needed service. 
    • The community gardens are part of the Anderson Park complex and are available to the public to grow their own vegetables.
    • The area had recently become very overgrown and in dire need of some special care.

        • Audrey Tolua, the Area Manager for Red Cross attended and directed the work. 
        • The volunteers weeded, mowed, painted and did some much-needed maintenance in the garden.  
        • In addition to the garden work, the volunteers also painted over graffiti on surfaces such as picnic tables, and fixed damaged fences. 
        • The event was “a great way to end Neighbours Week” said Audrey Tolua.
