Kia ora koutou,
We are all sold out for the Open Day sessions tomorrow (Friday the 18th), but there are still 27 spaces remaining for the Saturday sessions (as of midday Thursday). If you know anyone who you think may enjoy a visit to George Street Orchard, please send them our way. If you’re coming, thank you and I look forward to seeing you here. The self-guided sessions begin on the hour 10am -3pm, lasting 45 minutes.
We’re over the harvest hump now – even with careful planning for sequential harvests, it seems there is no avoiding the peak of March! The tail end of European plums, mid-season apples, grapes, peaches, pears, blackberries have been keeping us busy and filling the pantry.
Feijoas are beginning to fall: Kaiteri, Kākāriki, Tagan, Anatoki and Unique attempt to carpet the ground for the next couple of months. These will be on display and available for tasting (while they last) Friday and Saturday, alongside mid-late season apples and the last Niagara grapes.
I’ll be here for two full days of conversation, digging deep into how we create and manage productive and beautiful perennial landscapes. Nothing I’d rather do.
Tickets available here
