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
