We’re gardeners too! The Tui Team love creating and growing in the garden. We’re passionate about what we do and helping others grow - it’s in our nature.
This season we’re celebrating what’s in our nature: as Tui, as Kiwis, as gardeners. Meet some of the Tui Team as they share their growing spaces and what's in their nature.

Jean's daughter Odette, with his Nana
Name: Jean
What ‘It’s in our Nature’ means to you: This is my nana in her garden passing on her passion to my daughter. My Nana spent her life gardening and cooking (mostly things from her garden), she had a really big vege garden, a few fruit trees and flowers everywhere.
Every spring we used to go “shopping” at the local nursery and my nana was like a kid in a toy shop, wanting almost everything, smiling and almost running everywhere and me trying to follow her with the trolley full of things.
We used to spend a lot of time in her garden, playing, helping and occasionally indulging in her fruits or tomatoes without her seeing. Later, each time I visited her she would bring me on a tour of the garden, her happy place.
And now every time I spend time in the garden, grow veges or pick up a fruit from a tree, it’s like she is still with me and I try to pass on that feeling to my kids!
This photo captures what 'It’s in our nature' means to me, showing where the magic happens!

Name: Rose
What ‘It’s in our Nature’ means to you: I like to plant coriander in my herb bath - now it doesn’t taste like soap 😊
This is our recycled bath tub that was left on our property when we moved there, and I put my tomato plant in a half water cylinder that my husband's dad gave us. Oh and the water can from my uncles that’s probably about 40 years old!
