Gardening in Otaki (Hautere)

We’re looking for someone who enjoys gardening and spending time outdoors to help care for our veggie patch and support the overall landscape of our small rural property in Ōtaki.

We’re part of a not-for-profit community that hosts wellbeing events and retreats. Our Ōtaki property is where we gather each month — a peaceful space with gardens and land that benefits from a bit of regular care.

If you have experience growing vegetables, nurturing plants, or simply enjoy helping gardens thrive, your skills would be really appreciated. There are also occasional outdoor tasks like light pruning, tidying garden beds, or helping keep the grounds looking beautiful.

There’s no set commitment — any help is welcome, whether it’s an hour now and then or a few hours on a weekend. Weekends tend to work best for us, but we’re flexible.

If you enjoy being in nature and would like to contribute to a peaceful community space, we’d love to hear from you.

Requirements:

• Some experience with gardening or growing vegetables
• Enjoys outdoor work and being in nature
• Able to work independently and take initiative
• Reliable and respectful of a shared community space
