The Karori Community Garden is a shared garden on the corner of Beauchamp and Lewer Streets, at 21 Beauchamp Street in Karori, Wellington. It has communal compost and herb beds, individual plots for people without a garden at home, and shared plots for everyone. It is run by volunteers, and some of its funding comes from the Wellington City Council and other groups.
Visitors can garden a plot, join the working bees, or help organise events. Most vegetable plots are not for foraging, but there are usually some herbs, and surplus produce goes to the Pataka Kai Communal Pantry on Campbell Corner. The garden aims to be welcoming to all people, to respect Te Tiriti o Waitangi and to make gardening open to everyone. Our pick in Karori for a plot of your own and a friendly bunch of gardeners.
