During the months of December and January Phytofarm valley is full of Kānuka blossom – the white New Zealand Christmas tree.
the harvest season
Summer has to be a favourite season. The plants are enjoying the warmth and pushing themselves towards their full expression with flowers and attractive foliage. The drying room is filled with sumptuous bunches of everything. At Phytofarm in the summer our products and workshops focus particularly on our colourful range of infused oils – Rosehip (Tangerine), Kawakawa (Deep Green), Lavender (Mauve) , Kanuka (Grassy Green), Calendula (Orange), Hypericum (Red). These oils can be used directly on the skin or we make them into a range of healing salves, balms and ointments!
