A lovely AGM was held on Saturday at St Ninians church Hawea Flat.
Donella Osborne was our speaker, talking to us about her experience growing Kumara in both Hawea and Haast. A very interesting topic, thanks Donella!

Kumara is a crop we usually get from the Market down here in the south. Kumara is not related to the Potato family, although we often think of them as similar. But rather the Convolvulous family. The young leaves can be picked and eaten in a salad.
