Mieke is a talented organic horticulture tutor who loves to share her knowledge at workshops.

After migrating from the Netherlands in 2004, Mieke left a hospitality career of developing businesses to combine her passion for gardening, permaculture, and sustainability. She’s keen to educate people about the simple steps you can take to care for our whenua and reduce waste.

Mieke will give a gentle introduction to the world of permaculture in the home garden with a special focus on reusing/repurposing materials and closed-loop systems.
