PLANTING DAYS HAVE ARRIVED
PLANTING DAYS HAVE ARRIVED
Our favourite time of the year is fast approaching. The culmination of two to five years of our nursery volunteers care and attention.
We have 1,000 plants to go into the ground in a couple of locations on the Half Mile Reserve and will be holding four planting days over the next four months.
Saturday, 6th of June, 1 to 3:30pm
Sunday, 5th of July, 1 to 3:30pm
Saturday, 1st of August, 1 to 3:30pm
Sunday, 30th of August, 1 to 3:30pm
So hopefully there will be a date or four that will suit you to join us. Many hands make light work and we know that 1,000 plants is a big undertaking.
If the weekends don't suit you but you would like to be involved, then you could potentially join our hole digging team that will be working in the weeks before to make the holes with our wonderful electric auger.
Please RSVP using the red link. It does not commit you to attending but helps us hugely with logistics and keeps you in the loop if things change. Eg. weather related postponements.

THANKYOU TO ALL WHO ATTENDED OUR CHOP N CHAT Maintenance sessionS
THANKYOU TO ALL WHO ATTENDED OUR CHOP N CHAT Maintenance sessionS
A RECORD SIX EVENING SESSIONS WERE HELD AND THREE OF OUR PROJECTS WERE SUPPORTED.
Big thanks to all those who could make it this year. We appreciate you giving us your precious time. Plant maintenance is a tough gig to get people interested in, but it really does make or break a native planting project.
25 People got out there and gave 108 hours to support our natural environment.
THANK YOU ALL

Want to support a planting but can't be there yourself?
We have just developed a gifting system where you can buy a plant for a special someone in your life or to support a local native planting project that uses our eco sourced plants. These plants will be planted at the next planting date after your order by a community group. These plantings are on public land so can be visited any time.
By completing the form and making payment we will email out a gift card to your recipient outlining what project is being supported and how many trees have been gifted.
Please feel free to tell anyone and everyone about this initiative and help improve Central Otago's biodiversity and support local community groups.

Please support them when you can

Haehaeata is extremely grateful to Sir Sam Neill for his remarkable generosity. In our first iteration of our "Friends Pie" Sir Sam's company, Two Paddocks owned two segments of the pie for the first three years.
In addition, in his own name, Sam Neill has for each of those three years, donated $8,000 - a total of $24,000. That money has been held separately to invest thus far, into projects such as the Korimako Corner along with the nursery extensions and assets.
A 'mostly' monthly email with local plant profile, upcoming events and what we have been doing amongst other things.
We rely on generous donations from the public, sponsorship and grants to ensure our nursery can eco source and propagate native plants along with providing a hub for community involvement and learning. The projects we are involved in will ultimately create areas of native bush providing homes for our native wildlife.
Would you or your business like to 'give back' and support work to improve our environment and natural heritage? Become a friend!
