www.hippygourmet.com http www.organicexplorer.com In this segment on our Organic Living with the Hippy Gourmet tour of New Zealand we're in the magical Bay of Islands area in Kerikeri! Here we visit with Tania Booth one of the many family owners of Wharepuke Accommodations. We also meet Tania's dad Robin Booth who is in charge of the lush and beautiful Wharepuke gardens. Our tour continues up at the Print Studio at Wharepuke where we meet Mark Graver, resident artist and also co-owner of the eco-lodge. In the organic food garden we find Paul Goldfinch who leads us to our interview with his son-in-law Colin Ashton the owner and chef of Food at Wharepuke restaurant. If it seems like there's a lot going on at Wharepuke in Kerikeri that's because there is! All wonderful people, great hospitality, laid back cottages, stunning gardens and some of the best food on our whole tour of New Zealand!
at 03:07 is a tropical ficus tree fruit . some figs the fruit grows from the branches and trunk. here where i live which is subtropics we have a few local figs . one of my favorite trees.
Been there, a great place. A total experience. Tranquility, inspiration, gardens, bird life, accommodation, food, art, gallery, workshops and great people.
Also walking distance to many interesting places, Historic basin, Maori pa, bush walks, waterfalls, supermarket, main township.
A total experience
looks like a cool place everyone working toward one common goal the garden was so interesting!! another great video !
Very nice establishment. I wish I could afford to visit. I like the recycling, the non-toxic use of colors, the gardens and greenhouse. However I would skip the lecture on global warming, as I think the sun is responsible for that. Carbon dioxide is a good gas, and good for the gardens. It is not pollution. Regards.
