Sarah Smith - Bay of plenty grower
Sarah lives with her husband and 2 boys on a 5 acre block in the sunny Bay of Plenty. She has always had a love of the outdoors and in particular gardening with a passion for anything edible be it fruit, vegetables, herbs or flowers.
Sarah developed an interest in seed saving from a young age and also being a hobbyist bee keeper for 5+ years has made her more aware of the importance of flowers as a food source for our pollinators and retaining these pollinated seeds for future use.
Sarah also has a keen interest in NZ Native Plants and how they provide shelter and food for wildlife and support pollinators. She is keen to promote the biodiversity and stewardship of our natural heritage.
