Team work
We are all about team work here at South Alive with Fulton Hogan doing the mahi assisting us with improving our Ness Street side of the building. Also a bunch of busy bees from our Beautification Team along with some new comers to the community garden working bee. Thank you to everyone that was involved and keep up the great volunteering work you are doing - Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou.

South City Street Party – Friday 2 December
Save the date in your calendars and get ready for a big night of fun as we celebrate South Alive's 10th birthday and get ready for Christmas with our South City shops! It will be a night filled with good food, entertainment and shopping and will be a great chance to grab a few Christmas presents.

We are on the look out for people keen to be part of the party. If you know of any street food vendors, craft stallers, entertainers then tell them to contact the South Alive office and we can secure them a spot at the festivities.

Share your views
Every year we hold a public meeting to hear your thoughts and ideas around what is important to you and South Invercargill. We are doing things a bit differently this year and instead of a public meeting we will be joining in The Pantry Village Market on 8 October with an area where you can come and chat, share your thoughts, and see what you can contribute too! South Alive's strength is the people of South Invercargill so we really value all you have to offer. We can’t wait to see you there!

 

We went along to the Youth Expo at the Velodrome on the weekend and it was awesome to hear from so many young people about what kind of events and activities they would like to see happening here in South Invercargill. Movie nights, sports days, and art activities were all very popular ideas so watch this space for more events coming up this summer.

Big thanks to Number 10 for organising the event, and thanks to everyone who came along and shared their ideas with us, it was great to talk with you all!
 

It’s great to be planning our first Village Market for the season. We are always looking to welcome new stall holders so if you have any second-hand goods, plants, or something you’ve created and want to sell then call in and sign up. Trestle table spaces are $10 or if you have a lot of stuff to sell then you can book a gazebo space for $20.00. You can also book online here The October Village Market — The Pantry.

 

Spring is here, it is a great time to grow confidence in vege gardening and produce good food to eat. If your not confident on where to start, South Alive are pleased to offer 2 x workshops in October. This will give you a head start with some low cost ideas to garden anywhere with a bucket garden, and learn the low cost methods to growing your own seedlings and in return save money.

Nick Kiddey, Riverton Environment Centre will run these workshops in the South Alive Community Garden in October 2022. Come along and learn cost effective gardening tips and tricks (Info on poster below).
