Welcome to the visit inspirational edible gardens in the Whangarei and Kerikeri region - the first ever Northland Edible Garden Trail.

Meet the gardeners, have a chat, look, learn and be inspired to grow your own fruit and vegetables in a sustainable way displayed in a wide range of gardens from small urban gardens, to rural lifestyle blocks to commercial growers.

Each property has set days and times in which they will be open to share their property with you. A number of gardens have workshops and demonstrations.

The cost is $2 per person per garden visited (kids under 12 are free) and all payments are to be made to the garden owner on arrival (EFTPOS not available). Additional charges for some demonstrations and workshops may apply. A number of gardens also have plants, fruit/veges, seeds, refreshments and other items for sale so bring additional cash for on-site purchases.
