We are the Golden Bay Sustainable Living Centre: one of the oldest and largest community gardens in Aotearoa.
Our vision is a world where communities of people are deeply connected to nature and each other, life is sustainable and food is healthy. We promote regenerative organic practices and sustainable living, through sharing knowledge and resources and providing facilities for community connection.
The SLC is a local food hub, with an organic market garden, heritage orchard, allotment gardens surrounded by mixed species shelter trees. It provides organic produce and garden supplies, venue hire, pop up cafes, educational programmes and events for the community. The Centre offers volunteer opportunities for locals and visitors.
