Anita's Garden is a semi-organic urban homestead located in Manukau City, only a 20 minute drive from downtown Auckland. The garden contains a broad range of both edible and ornamental plants. There is an extensive vegetable potager and herb garden. We have a dedicated rose garden consisting of many different standard roses, including David Austin varieties. We also grow a number of flowers year-round, including bulbs, annuals and perennials. We have developed a mini orchard consisting mainly of dwarf fruit trees, in order to increase our level of self-sufficiency. Anita's Garden was originally created in 2013 but is ever-changing and evolves constantly. Each season sees plants at a different stage of their life cycle, so there is always something bound to be flowering or fruiting.
Our garden has featured in the April 2017 edition of the New Zealand Gardener Magazine, New Zealand's leading gardening publication. Click here to read a full-text version of the article.
I was placed Runner-up in the Yates Spring Veggie Growing Challenge in 2018.
