Forgotten Fruits is a heirloom fruit tree nursery and orchard and landscape design business based at 1 Orchard Lane in Mangawhai, Northland. The website says it grows and grafts heritage fruit trees organically, chosen to cope with the humid Northland climate, along with native and perennial ground covers. Its services include orchard and garden design, site consultations, native planting, permaculture design and swimming ponds. The business is a family affair, and says its services mainly cover Northland as far as Warkworth.
The website says the nursery is temporarily closed, with a new catalogue promised. Orchard design is by consultation, and the website asks visitors to get in touch for fees. Gardens are designed as naturalistic plantings among the orchard trees, which the business says cuts mowing and upkeep. Our pick in Mangawhai for heritage fruit trees and an orchard design consultation.
