Every Friday morning, anyone can drop into the Pacific Vision Aotearoa Centre in South Auckland for advice on how to create gardens with a Pasifika twist.

Established in 2016 to empower and resource people with regenerative ways of living, Pacific Vision Aotearoa runs a variety of events from creating community gardens in churches, building climate resilience in the Pacific, sharing ancestral wisdom for gardening to hosting workshops such as making kawakawa balm and kimchi.

Therese Mangos is one of the founding directors. She takes Mihi on a tour of their community garden.
