Summer Open Day

Kia ora koutou.

Join us this Saturday the 22nd of February 10am – 4pm for our Summer Open Day.

February is a wonderful time to see the orchard – many of the fruits are still hanging, some of which will be available for tastings. We’ll also have a few plants for sale, plus our favourite resources on display.

Parking is limited at this time of year with students arriving, so expect to park a few blocks away. We are 834 George St.

Entry is $5, cash only. Children under 14 free.

There’s also an open day at the Robert Lord Writers Cottage on the same day 11am-3pm. Just around the corner at 3 Titan St, free entry.

Here is a recent review from a visitor to the orchard:

“It was a long-held ambition to visit George Street Orchard and have a tour with Rory. We finally visited in early February and it was an amazing experience. I was incredibly inspired by this garden, which is a complete food production and regeneration system within itself. It’s also extremely beautiful and even more so because of its location next to a busy urban street. I learned so much from the tour, but most of all I was again reminded of the importance of gardening and caring for the environment. Thank you Rory.“

(Please note the open day is self-guided. Comprehensive 2 hour tours are available by appointment, offering a detailed look into our plantings and practices)

We look forward to seeing you here!
