Garden to Table

What’s in season right now? 🌱🥕🍅

We’re excited to share our new Seasonal Vegetable Posters, proudly sponsored T&G Global, designed to help tamariki, whānau and communities across Aotearoa New Zealand connect with the rhythms of seasonal growing and eating.

Featuring vegetables commonly harvested in school and home gardens throughout the year, these posters are a simple and engaging way to start conversations about seasonal kai, local growing, and what might be ready to harvest in your own backyard.

Because growing seasons vary across Aotearoa depending on climate and region, we encourage you to use these posters as a guide and adapt them to your local environment and gardening experience.

Explore the posters and pair them with our online Seasonal Wheel lesson for even more hands-on learning about growing and eating with the seasons.

This Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu - National Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating the incredible people who help bring Garden to Table to life 💚

From getting hands in the soil alongside tamariki, to lending a hand in the kitchen, sharing skills, harvesting kai, or simply showing up week after week - our volunteers are an essential part of our Garden to Table whānau.

Because of your time, care and generosity, thousands of tamariki across Aotearoa are growing confidence, learning practical life skills, and building healthy relationships with food.

To every volunteer who helps our programmes flourish: ngā mihi nui - thank you. Your impact reaches far beyond the garden gate 🌱
