Maple Glen is the name of our home and garden. We have a small sheep farm (200 acres) and about 25 years ago my mother started a garden and perennial nursery. Most of our sales are wholesale to garden centres around New Zealand and the garden has grown to about 15 acres. More information about Maple Glen, in the unlikely event that you should want it is available here.

Maple Glen has featured on NZ TV twice and has also been filmed for the Boston (USA) based WGBH show The Victory Garden. You might also find it at Kiwihome.
