A workshop with Vance Hooper – Mitre 10 Garden Speaker SeriesBananas have been growing in New Zealand for more than 100 years – now it’s time to learn how you can add a taste of the tropics to your own garden.
Historically, growing bananas has been dependent on limited microclimates, but with careful variety selections and a few key cultural factors, the fruit – botanically a berry – can be grown more widely.
Vance will share tips on banana propagation, establishment and ongoing garden culture to get the best out of these fresh-and-fruity jungle beauties.
You can see various stages of banana growth throughout the garden and orchard at Magnolia Grove.
FREE EVENT - usual garden fee applies (one ticket).
Bookings are essential, maximum 25 people per session. Please email [email protected] to reserve your space.
