This award recognises the most popular community food garden in Aotearoa! We want to highlight the beautiful productive māra and community gardens supporting food security and sharing knowledge around the country. 

The criteria

Nominations for this category have to be:

• A community garden! Whether based in your neighbourhood, marae, school, or your local park, nominations have to be for a specific community garden that is managed and shared by the community. 

• Not-for-profit. This award will go to a voluntary scheme where food is provided for free.

• Spray-free! We’d like all nominations to be gardens using organic principles such as composting, spray free and nature-friendly.
