Welcome to Kai Gardens for Porirua Schools

Our goal is helping Schools in Porirua create vibrant and sustainable Kai Gardens.

We will work with you to create the specs for your School's Kai Garden (location and dimensions).

We will get quotes from local professionals to build the Kai Garden: garden beds, compost/soil bins, and a garden shed.

An appropriate layout for garden beds will ensure wheelchair access, and specific areas for vegetables, flowers and trees.   

Fencing and lighting (for security) will be included in the quote.

Local Sponsorship will cover the building costs, tools, training, maintenance, compost, soil, and plants, and annual costs for power.

Your Kai Garden will be built, maintained and secure so it will be easy and affordable for your School.

Students, Whanau and local Community will become involved and committed.

This will enhance your school environment exponentially.

Kai Security for generations to come.
