Garden for Wellbeing

Imagine a world where your home nurtures you. Imagine you are connected to a family of people, animals and plants who are all working to support each other by creating a living paradise. With you at its heart. Imagine a world where you are more self sufficent!

​

I gave up Supermarkets over 15 years ago and have never looked back! Now, I love making amazing creative meals from a few simple organic ingredients locally sourced and the vast array of plants in my garden.

​

Now I want to share that joy with others through my workshops.

 

Garden for Wellbeing workshops for people who are super keen to know how to grow their own nutrient-dense food for their family and the local community. Gardening with nature not against. Growing edible wildflowers & attracting bees.

 

The workshops are designed to help you, help the earth by learning to garden organically in partnership with nature using Permaculture principles.

About Amanda - Founder of Garden For Wellbeing

Originally from England, where I studied for a landscape architecture degree before moving to New Zealand with my husband to forge their career teaching productivity and creativity in the construction industry.

 

I am now focusing my attention on building a network of edible gardens in Auckland through a Masters in Landscape Architecture at Unitec.

 

I have served as the CoChair of Permaculture in NZ (PiNZ) and President of the St heliers Garden Club. I'm the founder of the Gift-The-Garden movement and The Eastern Bays Sustainable Garden Trail.

 

My garden has been featured in NZ Gardener Magazine, Kiwigardener and The Auckland Design Fest where 1500 people visited the garden over a weekend.

Permaculture and garden design are my passions and I am happiest working in my garden surrounded by the local birds, bees and her Golden Retrievers.
