'The Real Dirt On Farmer John' is a documentary which won the Sundance Film Festival Audience Award on its release. It is the true-life tale of 'oddball' Illinois farmer John Peterson who took a risk and 'went organic' in the 1980s; his story is inspirational, touching and entertaining.
One of the key ideas behind the screening is to raise awareness amongst North Shore people of the Kaipatiki Project and our services, so there will be a short presentation before the film begins.
Tickets are $20 from the Kaipatiki Centre, ring 09 482 1172 to book yours.

A small group of keen native forest restoration workers meet each week in Centennial Park. In season we plant lots of native plants, and the rest of the year is spent mainly on weed control, with occasional track maintenance and other tasks. It is good exercise and good fun. We usually break for a coffee at 10.30 to recharge and work til midday ish. Over time a small number of dedicated people can make a big difference. For where to meet or to be on our email notification list please email bushsoc@gmail.com
