Open Day & Free Native Plant

OPEN DAY + FREE PLANT | Explore our space and see how you can get involved, whether it’s volunteering in our native plant nursery, helping out in our teaching garden, or joining our composting community at the compost hub. Learn about the different eco projects and activities you can be part of right here in Kaipātiki.

While you’re here, receive a FREE native plant from our nursery, perfect for your backyard. Come with friends and enjoy a free plant each, while stock lasts!
