In this newsletter Emma-Kate Lamb from St. Kilda Seed Savers shares some tips for saving your own seeds.

Healthy and resilient communities need healthy and resilient food systems

Exciting News for Our Food Resilience Community!

At our last hui, we talked about the importance of having one clear, accessible map that shows all the places supporting local food resilience—like community gardens, local food producers, and community pantries.

We're thrilled to share that we've teamed up with WellSouth to help keep their existing Low-Cost Food & Transport Map updated and active!

This map makes it easy to find fresh, affordable produce and food support near you. Whether you're looking for a nearby garden, a community pantry, or low-cost kai, it’s all in one place.

Check out the map and see what’s near you!

A huge thank you to Leonore from the Tomahawk Community Garden. Your support and initiative in helping us connect with the WellSouth Community has been truly invaluable. We deeply appreciate your contribution to strengthening local food resilience!
