Beautiful Birchwood

Birchwood Garden has blossomed into an intimate Private Garden just outside Queenstown. Tucked into the Dalefield landscape, its foundation was laid by visionary creator Margot Robinson in collaboration with renowned landscape architect Paul Bangay, together shaping every vista, pathway and planting into a living tapestry of form, texture and colour.

Each March and April, Birchwood’s pond becomes a mirror for a spectacular mix of fiery foliage – oaks blazing scarlet, Birches turning copper, Beeches glowing emerald edged in bronze. We’ve captured that magic in our newest video, Autumn at Birchwood Queenstown and can’t wait to share it with you.

Harry Winter planting tips: One way to keep your hands warm in Winter is to keep them busy with some planting! It might sound like a strange time to do this but we’re operating on nature’s timeline here, and nature is making sure the soil is moist, while keeping bugs and plant diseases at bay. Your new plants will appreciate the time getting used to their new home before Spring kicks in.
Harry Winter Fruit Tree Pruning Tips: It's true alright. Some work now will reap a bountiful harvest next Summer, when you really do get to enjoy the fruits of your labour. The key is to stick to the 3 D's of pruning, getting rid of anything that's dead, diseased or damaged. Go about your work on a dry day and wear a few layers, so you can take them off as needed. Different fruit trees need to be pruned slightly differently but in general, just remember to not get too carried away. Trimming back by about 20% is a good rule of thumb.
