just not sure that a garden is innovative in itself - but the fact bringing together some key partners and seeing it as a community rather than just within the school could be more interesting - could be worth exploring further

Love that they are looking to "thrive now and into the future through building self-determination, social cohesion, food security and resilience." - However, I feel like it's yet another "community garden?" - Strong collaborative team around the concept though'

It's a good project but very costly. i feel that this can be done with more contribution from council, etc.

I love a community garden but this feels like BAU?

I had a chat to Faye and Sandra about this opportunity - ioffered to hook them up with some of our Pacific garden community experts as well as Manurewa community based sections of ASA etc as at the time i felt it had no community connection - agree with other commentary

strong multi disciplinary team with a well thought through concept - covers range of elements and brings them together within an innovative approach -

Love that they're using a re-purposed "white lady" kitchen to cook healthy food options. Strong team of community and creative entrepreneurs behind the concept too!

I feel like there is something here but I dont think i fully understand what the project is and the outcomes for people.

Lots of good ingredients. I'd like to get TSI, Panuku and Roots in a room together to understand the collective understanding of impact. TSI have talked about this as a model for using empty council lots as pop-up spaces for food innovation hubs that could be replicated. This proposal needs a boost to move beyond the basic 'running a cafe' next to a community garden.
