Welcome to Garden to Table
Garden to Table (GTT) is a successful garden and kitchen programme run in schools throughout the country. Garden to Table’s aim is to introduce New Zealand primary and intermediate school student to the joy of harvesting, cooking and sharing in fresh seasonal produce they have grown.
