Permaculture is a fabulous design system but results can be seen as 'untidy' by some, leaving aesthetics a lower priority to productivity. Blending Landscape Architecture principles with Permaculture brings this amazing technology into the world of the urban garden by making it more easily acceptable in a small space. Furthermore, adding the principles of Regenerative Design Practice boosts the way the urban garden then serves its local community of life through the energies that move through it, water, air and life.

Gift-The-Garden is the Movement which brings these three bodies of knowledge together to deliver spaces which pump with life, provide delicious, organic, nutrient dense food, protect us from extreme weather and provide habitat for maximum biodiversity. Designed by Permaculture professionals, delivered by a mix of specialist suppliers and volunteers the gardens use recycled materials and permeable solutions to bring beautiful and productive living spaces to our city of Auckland, Tamaki Makaurau.
