Community gardeners in Waitakere now have a one stop website that provides a lot of useful information, including:

  • guidelines to start a community garden
  • a list of community gardens in the Auckland Region
  • different garden models that can be used
  • a large collection of resources, from books to local workshops
"The pages have been designed as a user friendly, first point of call for community gardeners in Waitakere City, but we hope that they will also be used by gardeners outside of Waitakere as a lot of the information is transferrable." says Brooke Walker, Ecomatters Environment Trust's Community Gardens Facilitator.
