Kelmarna Organic City Farm
Full DescriptionEstablished in 1981 as a working model of localised urban organic vegetable and fruit production, Kelmarna Gardens provides opportunities for educational gardening for mental health clients in a tranquil and therapeutic green-space. The original objectives of organic gardener and project initiator Paul Lagestedt included the growing of food to promote better nutrition, education, employment and beautification of the environment. The fulfillment of these objectives has maintained and enhanced a healing landscape and has effectively encouraged personal wellness and has strengthened the sense of community. The garden ecology combines with areas of native tree reforestation and provides space for chickens and cows. An on-site shop sells garden-fresh produce and customers can also "pick-your-own salad" from the gardens. Available all year. Open HoursMost days 9.00 - 5.00pm - when gate open so is the shop.
DirectionsKelmarna Gardens is located in between Herne Bay and Grey Lynn on Hukanui Crescent, off Kelmarna Avenue.
