Flowering Bean Organic Gardens is located in Waikato, Aotearoa New Zealand. We grow fruit and vegetables, host workshops and tours and have a small accommodation guest studio.

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.

Our gardens are certified organic through OFNZ Waikato, we value the transparency and soil-building principles of the organic system. To read more search the Grow tab and for lots of photos follow us on Instagram!
