Gardening in Whaingaroa? Come get your seeds at WEC!
Whaingaroa Environment Centre’s seed bank exists to encourage communication between home gardeners and act as a focal point for gathering information on locally suited varieties. Long term it aims and to provide the Whaingaroa community with some food security in these uncertain times. The bank holds varieties of open-pollinated (no hybrid) vegetable, flower and grain seed. Members can purchase in any quantity for a koha. Members can further assist by growing and propagating seeds which may then be redistributed in the seed bank, thus nurturing and expanding stocks of seeds that grow well in the local Whaingaroa environment.
