What could be better than growing and harvesting your own fruit?!
Home grown is something we are passionate about. We are here to help you find the right tree for your garden.
There are so many reasons to find space in your life and your garden to grow some of your own food. Even on a balcony or in a small patch you are able to fit in something, think a container in a sunny spot.
Growing your own produce helps insulate you and your family from the rising cost of fruit and veggies. Future proof yourself and start a home orchard.
The nutrient value of “just picked” when truly ripe (compared to fruit that has been picked early and pushed to ripen and/or put into cold storage) is just superior and so good for you.
Think sustainability and reducing food miles. You can make a difference – take the plunge and experiment with what works for you.
You can become part of the growing “culture of giving”. Grow more than you need and give the surplus to friends, family and neighbours…helping to build and strengthen family and community ties.
There is truly nothing like planting, nurturing and eventually harvesting your own fruit. That first bite of your own anything is so flavoursome and awesome – you really should experience it in your lifetime.
Re-introducing our children and grandchildren to the wonders of the natural world and teaching them by demonstration where their food actually comes from is setting them up for a wonderful future. Picking your own Granny Smith Apple and then munching into it together – the juice running down your chin – pure joy.
From June you can purchase deciduous fruit trees. Many varieties are now available on dwarf and miniature rootstock suitable to be container grown or for small gardens. Let us help you with fruiting times and suitable pollinators.
Citrus are generally available from March/April. We have partnered with local citrus legends Doug & Ivor Caudle who have been growing and grafting citrus for decades. We now stock a wonderful variety of high quality, locally grown citrus, propagated and grown on site. This has enabled us to provide citrus all year round.
Why not have a go at growing your own Berries? Most can be container grown and nothing beats the taste of your very own homegrown juicy morsels! You can enjoy Berries most of the year! Yum!
During the warmer months we stock our Nursery propagated Gynura procumbens – also known as the “Diabetes Plant”. This vigorous edible has a flavour not dissimilar to green beans or baby spinach and its leaves are used in Asian culture to help reduce hypertension, high blood pressure and as a blood sugar regulator. In a nice warm, sheltered spot it’s easy to grow and a very tasty edition to your vegetable repertoire. We suggest you find some time to research this beneficial plant.
As edibles are seasonal please pop in or get in touch to see what we have available.
We would love to send you home with the right advice and plants for your garden. The perfect recipe for success!
