Taupo Timebank is a community garden and a local initiative that focuses on building community connections and encouraging individuals to share their skills, knowledge and time with one another. Our mission is to create a platform where community members can come together to learn from one another and build stronger relationships while cultivating a beautiful green space. We are dedicated to improving the health and well-being of our community, and we believe that community gardens are a great way to achieve this goal.
