Everything you need to get growing
What you get when you attend a workshop
-
Sow your seeds on the collection day under guidance of expert urban farmers. Ask any growing questions you like.
-
Only measuring 40cm x 40cm.
… the same trays we've used to produce over twenty tonnes of food from OMG Urban Farm.
Use them again and again and never have to buy seedlings again.
-
Our own blend, made with fermented seaweed. Seeds germinate better in it.
-
Pick from a full selection of seeds for growing:
Vegetables
Natives
Flowers
Herbs
-
We’ll walk you through sowing, watering, timing, transplanting, watering, harvesting and replanting. The entire cycle from life to death.
"A young grower isn't just growing a plant.
They're learning to create life."
— Levi Brinsdon-Hall
Plants produce all food on Earth
Most of us were never taught how to grow them.
Over the coming season we plan to resource gardens and inspire a connection to nature in young people through the act of growing hundreds of plants from seed.
"Gardeners are ecosystem creators. They are the people who have the ability to create living systems." — Levi Brinsdon-Hall
You're raising, teaching or supporting a young person aged 0–25.
A house full of toddlers. Kids at primary or high school. A university student finding their feet. This is about grounding the first quarter of a life in a real relationship with the living world.
Calling all family households and young growers!
This programme is for you if…
You've got a bit of space and ten minutes a day.
A backyard, a school garden, a community plot, a family farm, even a sunny balcony. We provide the seeds, the trays, the mix and the weekly guidance. You provide the light, the water, and a young person willing to get their hands dirty.
You're part of a school, marae, church, sports club or community group.
This campaign is built to grow community, not just gardens. If you can bring a group of young people together, we want to help you host a sowing event of your own.
You are a young person
If you are under 25 and wanting to grow a garden this season, then take up this insane deal and register for an event!

Meet Levi
Urban farmer, teacher, and founder of Delicious Revolution
Levi has built productive growing systems in some of Auckland's most challenging urban environments including:
OMG Urban Farm
Produced over 21 tonnes of vegetables from a 400m² parking lot.Te Maara Kai o Wirihana
A 6,500m² school garden and food forest where students grow everything from seed.
Levi’s passion lies in education and he spends his time teaching and supporting beginner gardeners to grow plants and create ecosystems.
“My work is about more than food. It's about reconnecting young people to nature, helping them realise they are a part of it… and they can create it!”
Frequently Asked Questions

-
Access to sun, small watering can or mister.
-
Anyone aged 0–25 in Auckland, or anyone supporting a young person in that range — parents, whānau, teachers, caregivers.
-
Register for a workshop in your area through Humanitix online ticket platform.
-
One resource pack per young person living in the household. A family with four young people under 25 can apply for four packs; one young person means one pack.
-
No you can start from where ever you are at. Grow at home, at school, at a community garden, on a family farm, or on a balcony — wherever works for you.
