Seven Sites

We have piloted and delivered programmes across six unique sites across the wider Canterbury region, from Little River to Oxford, to four sites within Ōtautahi Christchurch. We also bought Bush Farm to Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Wellington. Most of our sites are on public land (reserves and parks). Two are on private farms.

10 clients for our Chinese Delegation in Wellington in April 2019.
