We are looking for gardens

We are looking for a wide range of productive, sustainable properties of all sizes throughout Northland. You don't need to have a beautiful, carefully-weeded garden. Do you think you may have something interesting, innovative or unusual to offer? Let us come and have a look.

What it involves

The fifth Northland Edible Garden Trail is in February 2026. 

Gardens involved will be open on the same day or days as nearby gardens.  See home page for dates.

Once a schedule is finalised, gardens will be placed on a Trail map with opening days and times (ideally 9am to 4pm). 

Someone will need to be there to host visitors while your garden is open. Hosts keep the $3 received from each adult.

You are welcome to schedule garden tours of up to 1 hour. The times of these will go on your garden's profile.

You are also welcome to hold workshops, demonstrations or presentations either in your garden or at another venue by arrangement with the Trail coordinators. Long events should not clash with open gardens.

We encourage you to share or sell produce, seeds or plants from your garden.

You are welcome to provide refreshments. Please arrange this with the Trail coordinators. 

Who are we?

We are a small group of Northlanders who love growing our own food for food security, healthy eating, saving on our food bill, and regenerating our land and communities. We want to inspire others to do the same. This garden trail is run by volunteers as a not-for-profit event.
