Te puke Community Garden
A shared garden in the heart of Te Puke, growing fresh produce, sharing gardening knowledge, and bringing people together to do good in our community.
Where food and Community Grow
The Te Puke Community Garden is a welcoming, shared space where people come together to grow food, learn new skills, and strengthen community connections. Established in 2011, the garden has become a green heart of Te Puke — nurturing not only vegetables and fruit, but relationships, knowledge, and wellbeing.
Whether you have years of gardening experience or have never planted a seed before, there’s a place for you here.
Growing More than Food
Fresh produce
We grow and share fresh produce to help support people in our local community and contribute to a more resilient local food system.
Learning & sharing
The garden is a place to learn by doing. We share practical knowledge about growing, composting, seed raising, harvesting, and caring for the garden.
Community connection
Working together in the garden is a simple way to meet people, build friendships, and contribute to something positive in our community.
Caring for the environment
We make use of composting, seed raising, recycling, and other sustainable practices to reduce waste and care for the soil.
