We are an organisation of mainly volunteers that are working to restore, educate and advocate for our unique dryland plant species of Central Otago and the special creatures that depend upon them.
WHAT IS COMING UP
300 plants went into the ground on the second of our planting days. Site No.3 is off the side of the newly established carpark and entrance to the Half Mile Reserve. In a few years to come it will make a wonderful entrance to the reserve.
Special thanks to the setting out crew and the 26 marvelous volunteers that saw us finished and enjoying a wonderful afternoon tea by 2:45pm.
317 plants went into the ground on the first of our planting days. This brings it close to 900 plants within Site No. 2, so that's it!
Special thanks to the setting out crew of Claire, Martin, Sofie and Tony to make the process much more streamlined. Also, to Jojo of the Alex Harriers for the afternoon tea set up.

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
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.
