Stock up your garden and help kids grow at your local Seedling Sale!
From 17 October 2022*
This spring, all around Aotearoa, Garden to Table kids will be planting seeds and carefully tending their seedlings in preparation for their school’s annual Seedling Sale. From the first week of Term 4 (Monday 17th October*), you can buy their locally and sustainably-grown plants, supporting tamariki and welcoming spring to your garden.
Make sure you keep an eye on our list of participating schools below, leave room in your spring planting plans for exciting finds, and save the date to support your local school!
Kids at Forrest Hill School planting seeds
The Garden to Table Seedling Sale is a national fundraising event that raises money for the Garden to Table programme at participating schools. It’s supported by our proud partner, Tui.
Every dollar raised during the sales will go directly to support that school’s Garden to Table programme - allowing them to purchase essential items for their gardens and kitchens. Kids in our programme use full-sized tools and utensils and learn each new skill hands-on with guidance from adults, so it’s important they have the right equipment.
Thanks to Tui for supporting our schools with seed raising mix and to Kings Seeds for getting their growing started with seeds for their sales.
We’ve listed schools participating in the 2022 Great New Zealand Seedling Sale below; this is updated weekly.
* Dates are a suggestion for participating schools. The best way to find out the exact details of your local school’s sale is to check out their social media pages or website, or contact them directly, especially close to the event date.
These Garden to Table schools have signed up to hold a Garden to Table Seedling Sale in 2022. Please remember to check in with your local school to find out what dates they have chosen to hold their event.
