Garden 5

8 Hillside Road, Surfdale

Gerda Gorgner and Kim Whitaker 

Gerda and Kim's garden is eclectic and the design has evolved over the last 15 years. The garden feeds us with fruit trees and vegetables and delights us with flowers. Long term commitment to composting and the help of our chicken has created much-improved soil conditions. We try to recycle as much as possible and turn pallets or old timber into fences or other garden structures. The garden has come together with the kind contributions of friends, who give cuttings and who have raised plants for us. We invite you to relax and sit down for a cuppa in the different areas of our garden. You might see some of our regular visitors such as tuis, kakas, piwakawaka, tauhous and kereru. 

Tea and scones will be available for purchase as well as bromeliads and a second hand gardening book sale.
