Creating a Sustainable Food Forest

A hands-on workshop to create a sustainable, biodiverse food forest.

Take a deep dive into creating your own self-sustaining garden. Explore medicinal plants that support soil health and wellbeing, learn regenerative growing techniques, and discover how to build a resilient food forest at home.

Enjoy morning tea, refreshments, and a nutrient-rich lunch, while gaining practical, hands-on knowledge. You’ll also take home a selection of starter plants to kick-start your own garden.

Vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options will be available, with prior notice.

This event is part of the Flavours of Plenty Festival, an annual celebration of the Coastal Bay of Plenty’s vibrant food scene. The festival runs from 16 April to 3 May 2026.
