Donating to us means we can build gardens at no cost to families. We have built 1,000+ gardens in our first five years and your donation will be helping another NZ family to survive a little easier.
We know that the cost of food is rising and we are doing our bit to make it easier for families in our country to survive and thrive.
CALL TO ACTION: Donate now to help our country and our food systems survive and thrive!
We build gardens to feed the community, teach the community to feed themselves and empower them to feed each other. Our Goal is to have an edible organic garden available for Every New Zealander.
