About CBEC Garden Centre Kaitaia

CBEC Garden Centre is a garden centre at 190 Pukepoto Road in Kaitaia, in the Far North. It is run by CBEC, a community enterprise formed in 1989 after the economic reforms of the mid 1980s hit the district. CBEC describes its aim as building businesses that are environmentally sustainable and that train and employ local people, with the profits going back into the community.

CBEC began with a recycling centre at the Kaitaia town dump and went on to run a family of businesses across the district. Its website describes its work as a range of businesses and environmental programmes, so the garden centre is one part of an enterprise that puts its profits back into the local area. The address is 190 Pukepoto Road, and the centre is in the same complex as the rest of CBEC.
