NZ HEART FOUNDATION GARDEN

project

The project with the NZ Heart Foundation and Ripe Deli is one that operates at the intersection of people and nature. An edible garden that illustrates a healthy relationship with each other, with food and with Papatūānuku. It provides life and food for people, bees, birds and all living organisms. A retreat from the concrete sprawl and endless impermeable surfaces in an industrial area of Ellersllie in Auckland, New Zealand. A place for the NZ Heart Foundation to celebrate friends & whānau, peace of mind, community and love.

The project transformed a parking lot into an entrance garden and café space.

- 5 car parks to 5 bikes racks
- Impermeable to permeable surfaces
- Low diversity to high diversity plant palette
- A space for cars to a space for people

A space that celebrates well-being and life.
