The Professional Countrywoman Garden Blog

Born and raised on a South Kaipara farm, Keren Mackay has now moved from being a Professional Countrywoman on a 10 acre block to a slightly bigger block near the town of Palmerston in Otago – where countrywomen tend to live on 10,000 acre blocks rather than 10! Apart from working part time for Heritage New Zealand at Totara Estate near Oamaru, Keren has launched a new venture called The Professional Countrywoman Network.

About Me

The Professional Countrywoman
Palmerston, Otago, New Zealand
The Professional Countrywoman celebrates traditional NZ Countryhouse Hospitality. It is also about sustainable and earth-friendly ways to provide for our families. I strongly believe in having family fruit and vege gardens whether you live in the town or country. Many of us have forgotten what grows when and how – my posts in this blog will concentrate on the monthly garden diary to see what and when to plant and then harvest. For those readers outside NZ - this is southern hemisphere gardening in a temperate climate - so reverse the seasons if you are on the other side of the planet.
