| About
the Centre The Centre
was officially opened
in June 2004, and is situated
on a main arterial route
between Auckland and Waitakere
cities. Just hop on a
bus or train to the New
Lynn Station - we're then
a short five-minute walk
down Clark Street. |
| |
| Friendly
and knowledgeable staff
are available to answer
your questions or point
you in the right direction
for specialist advice.
|
| |
| Take a
tour of the Centre and
discover information and
displays on anything from
solar hot water and energy
efficiency to green building
and renovating. |
| |
| Visit our
eco library for books,
magazines, documentaries
and films, or do your
own research on the Centre
computer. |
| |
| Enjoy a
stroll through the organic
gardens, designed incorporating
permaculture principles.
They showcase techniques
that require less maintenance
than the average garden,
but can be incredibly
productive. The gardens
are divided into zones:
Compost Zone; Food Forest;
Guilds; Native Re-vegetation
and Maori Medicinal. |
| |
| The Centre
has working compost and
worm bins on display -
great for children and
adults to discover just
how simple and easy home
composting can be. |
