Eat your own raspberries all year round!
Grow a bumper crop every year and freeze the surplus for winter!
These raspberries are amazing!
Let’s connect - I will:
- show you my two domestic raspberry patches
- explain how to grow them effectively
- sell (or exchange with) you enough plants to get you started (for half what you’ll pay in the shops)
- explain how to avoid root spread
- give you a 2-page handout with instructions
Planting then now/soon will give them an awesome head start on next season (don’t wait for spring!)
These are fantastic fruiters (red raspberries - Heritage, Cluther & Lewis)
Bartering?
Can’t afford to buy? I’m open to swapping plants for other produce including relish, jam, whatever you make.
Send me a message and we'll swap phone numbers.
PS I also have some exceptional thornless blackberries.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
