101. Rhododendrons And Camellias - Garden - Organic Pathways - Your Online Guide To O
     An interview with Peter Patton, whose unusual organic garden, hidden away in native bush near Kaikoura, often comes as a surprise to unsuspecting visitors.

     Extractions: Email to a friend... More Garden . . . After becoming used to life in Indian temples, Peter Patton came home to live a simple life in a tiny one roomed house he built in the middle of the New Zealand native bush near Kaikoura. His now large garden is well known among a network of people throughout New Zealand for its rhododendrons and camellias , and is perhaps even more famous for Pete's mead - not to mention Pete himself. Pete in his garden Pete's garden is hidden in the bush on a steep hillside corner of a Kaikoura farm, across the road from a rocky piece of the Pacific Ocean shoreline, and it began 15 years ago in what used to be a clearing used as a stock holding pen. It started with a vegetable plot which enabled Pete to be 100 per cent self-sufficient, but has turned into a garden full of flowering shrubs, delicate flowered groundcovers, spectacular lilies, and a variety of surprises which spring up all year around. The garden has no lawns. A single dirt track wide enough for two feet takes visitors up through the middle of the property, enabling views of the garden on either side. Only Pete and the odd careful visitor ventures off the track to find hidden routes through the bushes and flowers. The entire place is framed with bush and the sound of the sea breaking on the rocks below is a constant companion.

102. Rhododendrons
     I am gradually trying to become a sensible and successful grower of rhododendrons. I have quite a number now, in various stages of growth, hopefully planted  
     http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/rhododendrons/rhododendrons.html
     
     Extractions: Two of the first bargain bin rhododendrons I bought are side by side, growing rather well, and taking up rather a lot of space in Middle Border. They both have the same large, dark, bright pink flowers in mid spring. There are other pink and purple toned plants (my attempt to be colour co-ordinated) in this part of the garden, planted underneath deciduous trees. It's sheltered and semi-shaded, and I'm optimistic that I've got it right in this planting scheme. To the side of Middle Garden I think I have three Whitney's Apricot Rhododendrons - all rescued from a bargain table (priced at two dollars each). These have the most beautiful coloured flowers in shades of apricot, lemon and cream. There is a newer Rhododendron garden where an assortment of possible yellows have been installed. These plants were seriously misplaced for years, and this is their final resting place - hopefully where they will soon come to life. I haven't even seen their flower colours - go on, surprise me! Very few of the rhododendrons in my garden were ever properly labelled, so I have trouble naming them. As a result I've been rather shy of including them in the Moosey garden site. My local nurserywoman breeds her own plants, and often sells her unknown/un-named seedlings at ridiculously small costs.

This page merely serves as a central point linking to educational pages I have created on various garden topics. As of September 2002, my professsional association with Jefferson was terminated so I will no longer be teaching there. I am in the process of moving my files right now, so you will be able to find most of this material on my new website: www.DonaldHyatt.com

     Extractions: Image © Ron Knight THE RHODODENDRON IS RIGHTLY CALLED “THE KING OF SHRUBS”. Many gardeners think that rhododendrons are the most beautiful of any shrubs. Flowers come in red, pink, white, purple, yellow, orange and all shades in between. There are varieties that bloom on the West Coast in every month, from February through July. Some blooms have colourful blotches, speckles, frilled petals, or two-tone flowers. Leaves vary from fingernail size to half a metre and can be variegated, chartreuse, maroon, or greyish-blue. Some leaves have fuzzy orange or grey undersides. Plants can e obtained that are dwarf (under 60cm/2’), low growing (to 1m/3’), medium (1.3-1.6m/4’ to 5’), or taller when mature. There are rhododendrons that can grow in full sun; however most prefer some shade. Truly, rhododendrons can enhance any location in any garden. Homeowners who are merely looking for one or two nice rhododendrons to add variety to a perennial garden will find them at any retail nursery. Selection is easy; simply look on the labels for colour, bloom time, and size information. Remember that most rhododendrons will grow at least as wide as they are tall, so plan for adequate spacing between shrubs. Choose plants that are bushy, have dark green leaves, and preferably some new growth.
