The Gardener

When we, Josh & Mika, started landscaping our land in 2014, the excavation work revealed a treasure of Moa stones. The extinct native Moa bird had no teeth; it would swallow stones, which would grind its food in the gizzard. Moa gizzard stones have been found on the family farm for generations. Upon receiving confirmation of their authenticity, our company name was born.

Established in 2015, we started our business growing certified organic crop through aqua-culture. Although that has now changed into an ocean of flowers, we still practice what we have learned. We grow our flowers spray-free & organically, adding home-made fertilizers, resulting in colourful, long-lasting and heavenly smelling flowers.

It is the spotting of a sunbathing little frog, a honey-drunken sleeping bee in a flower bud or the happy sound of singing birds that rewards us.

Garden Size

Large country garden, allow 1.5 - 2 hours.

Weddings

We welcome brides-to-be and organize flower workshops for hen parties. We offer wedding planners & florists a wide range of (wholesale) exquisite flowers and foliage.
