Garden parties

Imagine if all Kiwi kids had access to fresh, nutritious food and learned about how to grow, prepare and enjoy it every week at school?

The Garden to Table Trust has been working towards this very goal for the last 10 years, and has established food education programmes in over 170 schools nationwide. Here at Your

Home and Garden, we think that’s amazing, so we’re partnering with Garden to Table as a national partner.

This year, Garden to Table are launching their Garden Parties fundraiser as a fun and creative way to support kids in our communities to learn to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh food. Money raised from the 2019 Garden to Table Garden Parties will help the trust train and support primary schools throughout Aotearoa to begin and deliver their Garden to Table programme.

Hosting a Garden to Table Garden Party is a great way to catch up and share delicious food with your friends, family or colleagues, while supporting Garden to Table by raising essential funds.

HOW IT WORKS:

1 Register your planned party. Tell us when, where and what your party theme will be, and we'll send you a link to your party resources pack. Registration means you can also go into the draw to win great prizes.

2 Set up your donation page. Once you've registered, we'll send you a link to set up your own Givealittle page. Send this link out with your invitations so guests can donate online and in advance. You can collect donations from your guests on the day, too.

3 Plan your menu and invite your guests! Once you know who’s coming, you can get started planning all the gorgeous details of your garden party.

4 Transfer your donation and pat yourself on the back for making a difference to the lives of Kiwi kids.

Garden Party registrations are open now. Register to host your Garden to Table Garden Party at gttgardenparties.org.nz.•
