Flowering Bean Organic Gardens is located in Waikato, Aotearoa New Zealand. In our gardens we use organic materials to feed the soil. We focus on mulch, cover cropping, rotation planting, woodchip and seaweed to build fertility in the gardens. The food gardens are surrounded by regenerating native bush.
Certified organic through OFNZ Waikato, our gardens are built on the principles of transparency and soil health. Find out more about the methods we use on the Grow tab, plus interviews with other growers and experts.
