I've gardened since I was a kid and my dad taught me to triple ditch. Its an organic garden and I make my own compost etc. Several years back we we brought the section next door and the kids claimed the plum tree and I managed to gain enough ground to add a chook run. I grow what we li...

A small edible garden, focused on vegetables, herbs and soft fruit, with a few miniature fruit trees. Also plenty of flowers to attract pollinators. I've crammed far too much in, but I like it that way. I've been growing vegetables for most of my life, but this is my first serious foray...

This is our third incarnation of our vege garden. My wife and I get a real kick out of growing our own veges, and each year we get a wee bit better at it. This year we have planted: Broccoli Cauliflower Lettuce Silverbeet Leeks Parsly Chives Spring Onion Strawberrys We al...

Some recent photos. The foxgloves under the clematis are about to bloom. The irises I planted in memory of my father - then forgot to divide the bulbs last year. Cistus (rock rose) and lavender are good for the dryer front section which doesn't get so much water due to roof overhang.

Since the collars are self-stacking, it's very easy for me to add height to my raised garden beds - it gets really windy sometimes, and one extra collar on top provides quite sufficient shelter.

Our garden sits on a gentle slope near the edge of some beautiful native bush. 2009 was our first season of growing here since we purchased the property in June. Already we are eating mizuna and radishes.

Just getting started :-)

Hi, I have just cleaned up my garden and started to get things rolling for what supposed to be spring..... though in this weather it is definatley not a pleasant time for seeds. Am planting mine in egg cartons rather than into the ground so they have a chance of surviving. Thanks to our ...

Small city garden split down the middle by a path, with veges on the sunny side and flowers and shrubs on she shadier side. Glass house at the back, great for herbs and extending tomato growing season. Small strip out front of house with standard roses and a lavender hedge - classic co...

My Vegetable Garden in the making.

Was a lump of clay not long ago, no fence, unusable very open. Got stuck in drew up a quick plan, paved areas, planterboxes, areas for trees/flowers/plants around central small section of grass. Works really well, completley North facing, good range of growing conditions. My poor wife wa...

We enjoy growing a combination of both edible and native plants on our 1/4 acre section in Christchurch. The back yard was just grass when we bought the place 6 years ago, but since then we have established about 200 different native and introduced species on the property! A small glass...

Inner city sack garden

This is our old garden in the UK. We have sold this house as part of the process of returning to NZ where we hope to create something new from scratch again. It was a badly kept lawn/dog toilet when we bought the house. We designed the garden, laid the paths, built the patio, pergola and t...

Tryed to stay with natives and a little colour in spring.

We have aimed for easy care, our recreational areas require only an occasional weeding to maintain them. we have a lot of native plants and tall trees. We don't spend a lot of time with annuals etc. Our vegetable area is fenced off so that the hens can't have more than their share.

Our garden is in sunny Hawkes Bay. It is on a gentle slope facing north. It is organic and based on low maintenace permaculture principles. I have 'crop circles' ( round gardens built with the no dig method). I use chicken tractoring to do all the maintenace. My chickens go on to each crop...

A productive garden designed with permaculture principles and incorporating ecosourced native plants to support biodiversity. The property is certified organic (OFNZ)

Raised planter boxes, clad in timber, on a grassed terrace. The terrace and garden in designed as a 'pottage', and influenced by English walled gardens, with a recycled brick clad retaining wall holding the hill at bay. The rest of the hill is planted in native trees, with a board walk ...

Our garden has seen very little care over the winter - it's become a bit wild around the edges ;-) We've had a few things growing over the year such as lettuces, spinach and parsley growing in a container at the front doorstep and some mint plants growing indoors. We're currently growin...
