Autumn Gardening tips NZ
Autumn’s time to really crack into the garden…but where do you start?

Get our digestible weekly emails with bite-sized tips on what you should be doing, and when you should be doing it. Say goodbye to the overwhelm.

Rose & flower garden
Time whizzes by, and it’s easy to miss the season’s window.

Think of the Autumn Gardening Series like a calendar for your garden, with friendly reminders of the small windows of time you have to get things done before winter arrives.

Vegetable garden harvest
Grow your own groceries & save on your grocery bill.

Invest a little time in your edible garden — and your supermarket bill will thank you for it (so will your bellies). Harvest, dry, store and cook with us this autumn.

Glasshouse & dahlia flowers
A brilliantly bursting garden doesn’t happen by accident.

It takes preparation, know-how and doing the right things at the right time. (Which, of course, is why the Autumn Gardening Series exists *wink, nudge*.)

Prepare

Autumn is a time of great foresight in the garden. During the Autumn Series we will tackle: Seed saving, taking cuttings, composting, cultivating garden beds, lifting and storing dahlias — and so much more.

Plant

You don’t want to miss this final sowing and planting window before winter, or you’ll miss the rewards come springtime. Let us help you get your spring bulbs, garlic, winter greens and spring veggies in the ground!

Harvest

Make the most of your end-of-summer and autumn harvests — we’ll help you pick, store, dry and cook your homegrown treasures, so you can enjoy them for months to come!
