New garden market in Te Puna

Quarry Park Garden mini-market is a new small-scale sale of garden stuff: plants, cuttings, shrubs, bulbs, flowers, seeds, some used garden tools, furniture, ornaments, and some produce. There will be live music in the Amphitheater and the Gallery where Devonshire Tea will be served. A shuttle service can drive you up to the higher terraces.

We still have space for people wanting to sell plants or garden stuff. You can bring your own stall (e.g. table and gazebo). There is no fixed charge for a space, but your donation afterwards will be appreciated.

The stalls will be mostly on the lawns so that the car park will be available for parking and handy for bringing your goodies to and from the car.

Please note the Quarry Fest that was traditionally organised by the Bethlehem/Te Puna Lions in November is not happening, unfortunately, due to uncertainty with Covid-19 looming over it. The garden minimarket will take its place on Sunday 8th November from 10am to 2pm.

We are seeking new volunteers to strengthen our team of 50. Our working bees are Tuesdays 8.30am – 12pm and Thursday 1- 4pm. Your rewards are fun, fitness and fresh air. We’d also like to get help with publicity, public relations, website, and photos. We are seeking a customer-oriented admin person to manage bookings for the Gallery. You don’t need to live nearby, as the bookings are done by email and phone. Some computer skills are needed. Please ring Secretary Elly 027 371 8720 or Vice President Shona Purves 027 497 3400.

If you would like to host your event in the Quarry Park, the Gallery, Amphitheatre and more are available for daytime and early evenings. For all inquiries, please email info@quarrypark.org.nz
