A community garden trust, listed on Kirkbride Road in Mangere, that teaches people to grow and harvest their own fruit and vegetables, with mentors on hand to help raise seedlings. The website says each plot comes with what is needed, including soil, seeds, water, bees and compost, and that it keeps registered beekeepers and hives to aid pollination. Its South Auckland sites include the Old School flagship, Middlemore, Charntay, a small site overlooking the Pacific and Rangitoto Island, the Maich Garden with over 50 plots, and Toia, a display garden open 24/7 for Otahuhu locals to share the produce. Schools and educational groups can take courses that include cooking what is grown, and its Kai Waka food is available for events.
