We're being encouraged to make the most of the fine weather and tend to the garden in the backyard.

A group of Wellingtonians have got together to set up Grow Aotearoa.

Founder Oliver Bone says they want to teach the basics of growing your own food.

"They end up with a new garden, and with their new skills have learned to apply permaculture to their own garden and they can keep running it themselves in the future," he says.

Bone says their focus will be on education and they want to engage hard-to-reach communities.

"We'll go in as a group and maybe teach people, run a workshop on gardening, in particular growing food."
