A full day hands-on workshop covering the following:
Seed sowing and pricking out – learn how to successfully sow and then prick out a variety of vegetables and perennial companions to ensure strong and healthy plants in your garden. The workshop also covers potting mixes, growing conditions, direct sow vs transplanting seedlings, seed treatments, sowing seeds of trees and shrubs. You will have the opportunity to sow some seeds and prick out some seedlings to take home with you for planting.
Propagation by cuttings, division and layering. You will be able to see the results of these methods in our nursery, and have the chance to try most of them yourself .
Grafting and budding – a 2 hour grafting session in which you will propagate your own apple trees to take home and learn to top graft a tree in the field. Clare Buckner will be leading this session. Clare runs her own biodynamic apple and plum orchard, Te Koha, and is a Fruit Production tutor at EIT, and a “core” (pun intended!) member of the local Tree Crops Association.

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
Kahikatea Farm cannot take any responsibility for any adverse effects from the use of the plants or a plant not having the effect it is reputed to have.
