CCS Disability Action continues to host the increasingly popular Royal Oak Market at its Erson Avenue site in Auckland. Now in its second year, the market continues to go from strength to strength, increasing each time in visitor numbers – 1,400 people attended the Royal Oak Market held in August.
We are often told a big draw card for visitors is the market’s vision – the way it brings together the ideas of community, culture, healthy living and sustainability – through the stalls, people and events.
As well as sharing in the sunshine and browsing the fantastic stalls, visitors to our August market had the chance to hear from Terry Hatch, world renowned plant propagator and native plant specialist, when he shared his knowledge in his free talk about the ecology of small gardens in the urban environment. There was also the opportunity to get tips and advice from our community garden volunteers. The Auckland branch of the Cactus & Succulent Society of NZ were onsite to demonstrate re-potting, sowing seeds, answer any questions and show off an amazing selection of cactus and succulents.
The next market will happen on Sunday 20 November from 10am – 2pm at 14 Erson Avenue, Royal Oak.
