Why native plants

Restore native plant habitat

  • Even though threatened native plants tend to fly under the radar, they are still under threat
  • By planting native plants, you are preserving biodiversity
  • By choosing natives, you are promoting stewardship of our natural heritage

Support native wildlife & balance our ecosystem

  • Our native wildlife is under threat due to loss of habitat through urban development
  • When their habitats are restored, they can pollinate flowers, help control pests and increase biodiversity

Eco-sourced plants

  • Auckland Unitary Plan Guidelines specify to source plants from the Ecological District
  • Eco-sourced plants survive and adapt better to local conditions
  • Plants of the same species but sourced from different localities vary in characteristics, including growth rate and tolerance of environmental conditions

During the planting season (May-September), we're out and about delivering orders or planting ourselves, so please allow extra time for a response. 

Our plants are in high demand. Please email [email protected] with your order or questions.
