Korito Education has been running in Taranaki since 2004, educating as many people as possible to become food producers and permaculturalists (less work, more production), and to look after their soil. As well as helping to cut down on garden work and make their gardens productive and bountiful all year rather than just in the summer! In 2020 Carolann Murray joined the team and has been running Korito Education courses at her self sufficient property in the Hutt Valley near Wellington.
