FAQ
Straight answers about the magazine, the landscapes, and the network.
What is Edible Landscapes.nz?
Edible Landscapes is New Zealand’s digital magazine for growers and good living — focused on food forests, home gardens, orchards, farms, and kai resilience. The site is the front door; each seasonal issue opens as a magazine reading view.
Who is it for?
Home growers, lifestyle-block owners, orchard and farm families, community gardeners, designers, and anyone building more food into the places they already care for — especially in the Bay of Plenty and wider Aotearoa.
How often do editions come out?
We publish with the New Zealand seasons: summer, autumn, winter, and spring. Each edition has its own cover, features, and departments. Browse all issues from the Magazine page.
Is this the same as a print magazine?
It is designed to read like a magazine online — covers, features, departments — but it is digital-first. You can print an issue from your browser if you want a paper copy for the shed wall.
Who writes the articles?
Edible Landscapes is written as a seasonal editorial voice from practical landscape and kai-resilience work in the Bay of Plenty. Guest contributors may appear as the publication grows.
What is an “edible landscape”?
Any designed place where food plants, soil, water, shelter, and people support each other over years — from a balcony herb strip to a layered food forest or a farm edge that feeds household and market.
How does this relate to Kai Resilience and Food Forests NZ?
Edible Landscapes is part of the Vector Group Charitable Trust kai / food cluster. Kai Resilience is the regional hub and tools home; Food Forests NZ focuses on food-forest practice; this magazine is the seasonal editorial layer that tells the story in depth.
Where are the free grower tools?
The collective tools hub is at https://www.kairesilience.food/tools/ — planning, mapping, and practical helpers used across the network. Individual tools may live on their own domains; the hub is the place to start.
How do I subscribe?
Use the Subscribe page. We send one Mailchimp note when a new edition lands — no drip sequence, no ads. RSS is also available if you prefer a feed reader.
Can I republish or use the articles?
Link and quote briefly with attribution. Full republication or commercial scraping needs written permission. See Terms of use for detail.
Do you give farm or spray advice?
No. Articles share design thinking and seasonal practice. Always check local biosecurity, council, and agronomic guidance before changing plantings, sprays, or stock systems.
Who publishes and funds this?
Vector Group Charitable Trust (CC45966) publishes Edible Landscapes as part of its charitable education and community-resilience work. The site is built by Te Puke Digital.
