He has worked with the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens developing the Patch and helping to ensure it continues to provide fresh produce to Second bite, a charity organization that collects and redistributes food to those that need it.
He spent four years working as part of The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program, teaching students at Moonah Primary School and continues to teach gardening skills to both adults and children through local garden clubs and school appearances.
He is involved in working with many community groups such as Veterans Affairs, refugee groups and disability services. Tino is a patron of the Tasmanian Weed Society, an organization that raises awareness of environmental weeds and their impact.
