Difference between Greenlife Matters and Go Gardening then?

Greenlife Matters is a broader scale advocacy and action campaign aiming to engage individuals, households, groups, Councils, government bodies, Regulators and Legislators. whereas
Go Gardening is a consumer engagement programme focussed on getting more New Zealanders actively gardening, more often.
