It can be challenging meeting new people and making meaningful connections in this digital age, so this Valentine’s Day we’re encouraging you to ditch the dating apps and pick up the gardening tools instead.
Wellington City Council and Conservation Volunteers New Zealand are putting on four Weed Dating events for singles to enjoy Valentine’s Day together and make a world of difference in the environment too.
Weed Dating is a fully inclusive speed dating event where singles pull weeds while meeting prospective dates and mates.
There are four events running at various times over the day and registration is required.
Events on Wednesday 14 February:
- 9am-11am, Lyall Bay
- 11am-12pm, Te Ahumairangi Hill
- 12pm-2pm, Lyall Bay
- 5:30pm-7:30pm, Te Ahumairangi Hill
Make sure to wear sturdy boots, long sleeves, and long trousers, and please bring glasses or eye protection, a full water bottle and snacks. Gloves, tools, and training will be provided.
