Our Work

Our Work

We inspire and empower people to share in nature's revival and live lightly on the planet.

Our approach is to make it easy, practical, impactful, community-connected and fun.
We treasure mātauranga Māori and practise concepts of good stewardship.
Knowledge and skills lie with many people and so we create opportunities for sharing and exchange.

Native Plant Nursery

We eco-source, propagate and pot up tens of thousands of native plants every year to help restore the bush for our native birds, animals and plants, and remove carbon from our atmosphere.

Teaching Garden

Our vision is that everyone's food needs are met from local sources, and therefore to support and enable people to grow locally as well as sustainably.

Compost Collective

Diverting organic waste from landfills. With help of keen composting tutors, we offer FREE composting courses around Auckland about worm farming, bokashi buckets & traditional composting bins.

Iwi, Hapū, Community Nursery Network

A place where Community Nursery people can share and exchange information about growing New Zealand native plants, seed sourcing, propagation tips, setting up infrastructure and general trouble shooting.

Te Ara Awataha Restoration

Since March 2019, we have been privileged to be a part of the Te Ara Awataha greenway. Our work has been based in leading regenerative activities in the Jessie Tonar Scout Reserve in Northcote, Auckland.

Kaipātiki Stream Care

In partnership with EIA Ltd and four local schools, we're running Stream Care Community Science monitoring, with data being reported to NZ Water Citizens Database and NZ Freshwater Fish Database.

Community Group Networking & Support

We are committed to sharing our skills and understanding among the community of practitioners to sustain each other while reviving nature and living lightly on this planet.

A fantastic annual festival filled with 90+ environmental events, activities and sustainable living actions. With recent changes, we reinvented the festival into Backyard Actions that can take place right in our home.
