Our Australian Leptospermum plants that produce Australian Manuka honey, have been largely wiped out over decades of land clearing. Gather By, together with Farmers, and First Nations people are replanting native manuka trees along the east coast of Australia.
Our planting model is different, known as the Medicinal Manuka Honey Forest ™ (MHF), we combine a biodiverse selection of highly-active Australian Leptospermum together with specifically curated bee fodder plants.
