Become a community garden partner
Let's grow together - CLOSED
This round is now closed and we're reviewing all applications for our next community garden partners in Hawke's Bay and Taranaki.
Thank you for applying. We're currently reviewing applications and will be in touch with all schools who submitted a nomination by Friday 19 September 2025.
What's in a garden?
Community gardens don’t just grow veggies—they also create organic waste that can break down naturally to produce biogas. By supporting school gardens, we’re helping communities learn about biogas and how it can become renewable energy for our homes.
