Community gardeners in Waitakere 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.
