Fruitful Legacies: Heritage Orchards of Auckland
Join us for a fascinating journey into the 1800s, when Europeans brought more than just dreams to Auckland—they brought apple seeds, plum cuttings, and the beginnings of a new landscape.
Discover how fruit trees and plants were introduced during the 1880s period in Auckland, reshaping both the land and the lives of those who cultivated it.
This talk explores the botanical, cultural, and historical impact of these early plantings and how they still influence our backyards and orchards today. This will be presented by expert, Derek Craig. All are welcome to attend this exiting talk.
