This year we stoked to be releasing our 2019 Fruits Nursery Catalogue and holding our Apple Tasting at the Open Day of George Street Orchard, Rory’s abundant & diverse innercity fruit garden.
1-4pm, 24th March, 834 George Street Dunedin
Taste a huge selection of delicious apples and chat with us about the best fruit trees and berries to plant in your garden this winter.
This is a great chance to look around George Street Orchard and see how fruit trees, bushes and vines can be creatively fitted into a very small innercity section.
Rory will also have a great range of potted plants for sale on the day:
Grapes, Figs, Aronia berries, Goumi berries, Monkey puzzle nut trees, Chestnuts, Asparagus & Echinacea.
We are likely to do a tour of Habitate Nursery in April as part of Organic Week, email to get on our mailing list so that you get tipped off.
George Street Orchard:
“George Street Orchard is in the tenth year of becoming a resilient, diverse and delicious garden. Our aim is to grow many of the foods we like to eat in a way which captures atmospheric carbon, builds soil, increases biodiversity and blurs the distinction between ornamental and utilitarian. To these ends, we emphasise perennial and self-seeding annual plants and mimic and encourage natural patterns.
The garden is structured to accommodate approximately thirty species of fruiting trees, shrubs and vines – some well known and proven in this region, others experimental, but all selected for being viable in, if not perfectly suited to our unique climate. Vegetables, herbs, medicinal plants, chickens and mushrooms are coordinated and shuffled within.
We host tours and workshops to discuss and demonstrate the design and techniques we have found to be successful, hopefully inspiring action for flourishing edible environments in the city and beyond.” https://georgestreetorchard.com
