Three Mahurangi College Year 11 business students have put their classroom learning into practice by setting up their own garden compost business.
Part of their course required them to identify a target market and the students Dan Wenzlick, Oliver Adams and Jayden Barber, decided to focus on seniors, providing them with a way to improve their gardens through organic means.
The 15-year-olds offer seniors a delivery service supplying coffee grounds and seagrass, which they can source easily and for free. The coffee grounds come from Café Sandspit, where Oliver works, and he says there is always “tons of seagrass” at Snells Beach.
