donation of plants appreciated ;-)

Koko from St Heliers

Our complex has a huge back yard untouched for possibly decades till I started to pull all the weeds last year. Now it is ready for preferable plants (I mean, instead of ginger etc which were there to completely take over the piece of land..). If anyone has any plants for us to take over, please let me know.

-both that loves shades, and that loves sun,
as we have sunny areas and shady areas.
-preferably NZ native
-already grown up tree with edible fruit would be fantastic!! 😉
-feijoa, lemon, orange, peach .. 🤤
-we prefer fern, palms, panga, coprosma etc (evergreen plants) to flowers
-plants that are not high-maintenance, as we are not good at maintaining them 🙈

Videos show how the piece of land is looking like now.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
