Events & Workshops

Grow On Katikati runs monthly events to help our members gain the knowledge and tools to achieve success, to meet like-minded others in our commUNITY, and to have some great fun along the way!

We run workshops every second month, and interspace those with other events like movie inspiration nights, social events, and fundraisers.

We like to keep it local and work with the expertise of those in our commUNITY wherever possible! Our tutors are a smart bunch who impart information with passion and a simplicity that all can understand.
