Gardening with tamariki builds a powerful connection between nature, nutrition, and healthy habits. By growing their own food, children learn where kai comes from, explore healthy eating, and develop lifelong respect for their bodies and the earth.

Matariki provides a wonderful opportunity for connecting tamariki with the rhythms of nature, the wisdom of te ao Māori, and the joy of shared celebration. Your garden offers a meaningful way to make these connections.

Regular gardening activities provide context for children to learn skills that will help equip them for the complexities of everyday life.
