..as we move on from Phillipstown Community Hub, which has been a long-standing base for both Greening the Rubble and The Green Lab. Phillipstown Hub has played a significant role in shaping our mahi, and we send our love and appreciation to everyone who has been part of these projects over the years.

We are deeply grateful to:

The Green Lab Board and all of our volunteers, who have supported building workshops (making traps), planting days, the picnic area at the Avon Hub, weekly work bees at Rāwhiti Domain, events, and landscape planning for community groups.
