Mark is a passionate advocate for sustainable gardening. His effective, inexpensive gardening method focuses on regenerating public and private spaces by using green waste to restore ecosystems and create healthy garden environments. This approach is at the heart of his sponge gardening method: Growing Resilience.
A healthy garden ecosystem is a harmonious balance of plants, insects, and birds, creating an environment where plants thrive without the need for insecticides and fungicides. In this ecosystem, soil microorganisms, birds, and insects are the unsung heroes, playing vital roles in decomposition, pollination, pest control, and supporting wildlife.
Densley Simpson, Deputy Mayor of Auckland, says:
"Mark Van Kaathoven's vision and dedication has not only turned a once bland area into a beautiful urban oasis but has also challenged conventional thinking about green waste management. His efforts have inspired me to ask council to look at how we can use and develop Mark's ideas more widely across the region."
