About Countrylife
We are a small independent family business set up to provide the gardening public with a wide range of well grown Camellias at a fair price by using sustainable practices , recycle as much as possible and not bugger up the environment but improve it
We want to create the Nursery and Garden/Farm that make us happy and are proud of, that inspire people to create their own gardens by promoting and educating about camellias as a garden plant, We enjoy sharing our knowledge and experience but also listening and learning from others, when I started my Gardening apprenticeship,my tradesmen Sid Tilley an old Englishman said to me Collin when your young , you think you know everything about gardening, when your old you realise you know XXXX all ( he was northern!) that's the joy of gardening its a never ending learning
To develop and maintain a collection of camellias to conserve the biodiversity of older varieties, to make these available to the public and public gardens, Camellias seem an odd choice for conservation, but in New Zealand’s case it has become necessary due to strict but necessary quarantine restrictions that severely restrict future importation into New Zealand. Any camellia species or cultivar that in New Zealand , if lost, cannot be replaced. Growing small numbers of odd ball camellias is financial and logistical madness its profitable to grow large numbers of more popular varieties but as we say, its not all about the money,honey so try something different
