How to harvest, cure and store kūmara, pumpkins and onions

Join us at the Shared Food Growing collective on Warren Road for a free hands on workshop learning how to harvest, cure and store kūmara, pumpkins and onions.

• Meet some of the households and find out why and how they grow food together.
• Learn the best techniques to ensure kumara, onions and pumpkin stay fresh and flavourful throughout the winter and beyond.
  Harvesting is just the beginning.
  Proper curing and storage are essential steps in your growing journey.
  Don't let your hard work go to waste with a rotten pumpkin or wrinkly, flavourless kūmara.

Hands on:
Opening a kumara mound for harvest
Braiding onions

If you can, bring some simple finger food for a shared picnic style morning tea
