Know what’s growing in your child’s school garden?

Welcome to our school blogs!

At PiPS, we work alongside tamariki and kaiako in kura across Tauranga Moana and Waihi Regions to grow food, build knowledge, and nurture our connection to Papatūānuku. Click on your school below to explore blog updates, harvests, learning moments, photos, and stories from the garden.

See something inspiring?

At PiPS (People, Plants, Seeds), we believe that by nurturing tamariki in the garden, we’re planting seeds of resilience, sustainability, and lifelong learning. But we can’t do it alone.

Your support helps us:

  • Build and maintain school gardens across the Bay of Plenty

  • Teach hundreds of tamariki each week about composting, worm farming, sustainability, and growing their own kai

  • Provide essential tools, soil and fruit trees

  • Support and train our incredible team of garden facilitators

Whether you’re a business wanting to give back, a parent keen to see gardening thrive in your school, or someone who believes in teaching the next generation life-long skills, there’s a way to help

Ways you can make a difference
