Anna Hiatt grew up on a farm in North Canterbury and spent much of her early years in her granny's vegetable garden.
Decades later, she's on a mission to help others grow their green thumb through her gardening kit business Hiatt and Co.
Anna's had a varied career - from theraputic massage for people with chronic pain, running a weekend home in the Cotswolds in England for a wealthy London family, launching her own flower design business, and running huge international sport events.
Covid brought a those events to a halt when the borders closed, which gave Anna a chance to reflect and reset.
The result is Hiatt and Co - now three years in - she's selling home vege garden kits to customers around the country from her base in Wānaka as well as consulting to clients about where and how to build a vege garden.
