Root-Based Spices
Ginger, turmeric, and galangal - these root-based spices can be grown right in your own backyard. They are hardy, easy to grow, and you can harvest after just a few months. Not only do these aromatic spices enhance the depth and flavour of your culinary adventures, but they also have a range of health benefits. What’s not to love?
Bananas
Bring a tropical vibe to your garden by growing bananas. They are fun and easy to grow, rewarding you with delicious fruit that’s packed with essential nutrients. Plus, once they get established, they are drought-tolerant and disease-resistant. Bunches of bananas can reach up to 20kg, so you’ll have plenty to share with friends and family!
Pineapples
Enjoy fresh, juicy pineapple straight from your backyard. Pineapples are easy to grow, and thrive in a sunny, frost-free spot - ideal for Auckland’s climate. With their rosette of spiky leaves, pineapple plants not only add a touch of unique beauty but, with a little care and regular watering, will reward you with delicious, homegrown pineapples.
