We are thrilled to be back at the Oamaru Farmers’ Market tomorrow!

It’s succulent Sunday, so come get an easy-care but huge-reward plant. Also natives, rock orchids, clivia (as featured recently on Stuff https://i.stuff.co.nz/life-style/homed/garden/129952536/watch-out-dahlias-clivias-are-the-next-big-thing-in-kiwi-gardens), arabica coffee plants, and more.

Forecast is for a great summer market day! See you there.

They grow slowly, and some could take 10 years to flower. But there are many gardeners are falling for clivia's beauty and resilience.

UPDATE: due to an unfortunate incident I’m not going to be able to run a stall at the twilight market. I have lost a few plants I had ready to sell and have some significant repairs to do on my own garden 😔

Hopefully see you in the New Year at the regular Sunday markets. If there are any plants people want to buy before Christmas, please let me know. I have a range of succulents, natives, arabica coffee, and house plants.

Enjoy the festive season!

Meri Kirihimete!! Give a botanical gift this festive season. Green Ringlet Growing will be at the Oamaru Farmers' Market Christmas twilight market on 22 December. Succulents, natives, orchids, Arabica Coffee and more… see you then!

Hi there mushroom and plant fans! The flora and fungus (and I) have been hibernating over winter, but we’ll be back online soon. I’m going to be selling at the Oamaru farmers’ market as well as online this summer. As always, I’m happy to propagate plants on request if there’s something different you’re after. I’ve been trialling a new growing method for oyster mushrooms and the first blush is outstanding. This beauty weighs in at 250gm! Check back in soon for oyster mushrooms for sale.
