Get stuck in and help transform a piece of Te Puke into something truly special!
Come on down on Saturday 19 July from 10am at the northern end of Lawrence Oliver Park for a whānau-friendly planting day. Together, we’ll be planting over 2000 native plants as part of a restoration project to create a beautiful new wetland – improving water quality, supporting wildlife, and adding to the park’s cultural and recreational value.
This is more than just planting – it's about connection: to the whenua, to each other, and to a shared future we can all be proud of.

What to bring: Spade, gloves, drink bottle

What to wear: Warm, waterproof clothing and closed footwear (gumboots ideal)

Parking: Limited parking on King Street & Landscape Road – please be prepared to walk a little

Heads up: There are open ponds in the area – tamariki must be supervised

Morning tea provided as a small thank you to all our awesome volunteers. Let’s make it a day to remember!
