    "Improve the self-sustainability of your home by growing your own #kai from seed!

    The Kākano Seed Libraries aim to encourage beginners into backyard gardening through the supply of small quantities of free seeds.

    Seed saving and seed sharing are important practices that encourage biodiversity and community self-sufficiency. Gardening is a great way to improve your physical and mental well-being, and growing from seed can be a rewarding and fun process that the whole whānau can enjoy.

    How does it work?

    - Help yourself to a packet of seeds
    - Sow your seeds at home. Basic planting instructions are provided on packets. Don’t forget to label your planting with name and date.
    - Enjoy your harvest!
    - Save some seeds from your harvest to donate back to the seed library. We gratefully accept donations of any other excess seeds you have, provided they meet the below requirements.

    How do I donate seeds?

  11. Boo hiss! #Libraries should have more funding and support, not get closed down!

    'A #library is more than a place with books, it is a lifeline'

    Stephen Menon & Laurence CawleyBBC Investigations, London, 18 March 2025

    "The UK is losing libraries at a rate of about 40 each year, BBC research has found. According to those who depend on them, local libraries are far more than a repository of books - they are community focal points and, for some, a vital lifeline to the outside world. What happens when one closes?"
