Welcome gardeners, visitors and guests

Nestled in the stunning natural landscape of New Zealand, Blockhill is more than just a garden - it's a living, breathing testament to regenerative living and ecological harmony

Blackberries (Burning)

The blackberries are everywhere, their thorny runners creeping through the grass and climbing into trees.
With so many wild ones about, we don't need to grow any on the property. Id rather use the space for something more valuable.

Blackberries

Wild blackberries are a bit of a curse round here, growing rampantly wherever they can. However at this time of year they redeem themselves somewhat by offering up sweet berries.
In addition to the thorny wild plants, we have a thornless variety in the garden that produces larger, more accessible berries.
