"Improve the self-sustainability of your home by growing your own #kai from seed!

The Kākano Seed Libraries aim to encourage beginners into backyard gardening through the supply of small quantities of free seeds.

Seed saving and seed sharing are important practices that encourage biodiversity and community self-sufficiency. Gardening is a great way to improve your physical and mental well-being, and growing from seed can be a rewarding and fun process that the whole whānau can enjoy.

Where can I find the Kākano Seed Library?

How does it work?

- Help yourself to a packet of seeds
- Sow your seeds at home. Basic planting instructions are provided on packets. Don’t forget to label your planting with name and date.
