Bring a little piece of Kerikeri’s garden history to your own patch. Cultivated for over 200 years, the gardens at Kerikeri Mission Station have a fascinating story to tell. When missionaries arrived in 1819, they brought seeds and rootstock from England, establishing gardens that reflected their heritage and beliefs. Under the watchful eye of Ngāpuhi chief Hongi Hika at nearby Pā Kororipo, the gardens also became an important source of food for the growing settlement.

Harvested from these historic gardens, these heritage flower seeds carry a little of that history with them – old-fashioned blooms with roots firmly planted in Aotearoa.
