Nursery Fruit Tasting Day 2-4pm 17/3/24

Sunday, March 3rd, 2024

Each year we really look forward to our Nursery fruit tasting day where we invite you to try a great range of in season fruit from our nursery.

We often have 20-30 varieties of fruit on display, not all of them will be ripe for tasting but you will get a good idea from this of what you might like to plant in your backyard!

Location: 6 Mclachlan st, Waitati.

This is our home garden where we grow a large proportion of our own food using permaculture principles to integrate chickens, a poly tunnel, worm farming etc

$5 entry per person

Our vegetable growing calendar and orchard planner publications will be for sale at the tasting sessions these are $15 each. Cash on the day please.

Be quick to get a 2024 Habitate Nursery order form and discuss your order with us after the tasting session, early orders are coming in and some plants are selling out already.

2019 Nursery Catalogue Release and Apple Tasting at George Street Orchard!

Thursday, March 14th, 2019

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
