Our Stories
Not into Red Bin
It started like most weekday afternoons. School bags landed by the door. The kettle turned on. Someone stood in the kitchen holding an old saucepan, the kind that still works fine, just no longer loved, and asked the familiar question: “Does this just go in the rubbish?

There's a tray in Kaipātiki Project nursery that has been quietly sitting for three years. The label hasn't changed. The mix has been kept moist through summer droughts and Auckland winters. Volunteers have peered at it, poked at it gently and walked away again.
From Seedling to Steward
"I feel so grateful that our work here in the nursery at Kaipātiki Project is available and supported by the community," says Nicola Guthrie, the Nursery Manager at Kaipātiki Project on Auckland’s North.
