Join the team at Ngapeke on our tribal lands in the heart of Tauranga. A 2-hour eco experience touring our permaculture garden, learning about indigenous practices and getting your hands dirty with a workshop.

Ngapeke Permaculture uses sustainable indigenous practices to grow food and to restore land to its natural state after a long period of industrialised agriculture. We are big on working with Nature and not against it! As a result, we have created a beautiful relaxing earth friendly environment for trees, plants, animals and humans to thrive and mingle happily and sustainably together!
