Garden to Table is a programme to teach tamariki to grow, harvest and prepare food.
Run by a charitable trust, 300 primary schools are on board.
Now the programme is expanding into preschools, with new garden beds being unveiled at a kindergarten in Auckland last week.
Oropi primary, a rural school near Tauranga has been running the programme for the past 10 years. Heron Rickard is the Garden Specialist there, she speaks to Jesse.
