Michelle's garden and the pigeonwood seedling among the weeds
Our client Michelle has a large front garden with several large exotic trees, and numerous smaller native trees. Michelle loves walking in the local bush, and dreamed of enjoying some of that ambience in her own large garden.
Once she learned it was possible, Michelle became keen to create a shady little bush-walk by converting the lawn and weedy borders of an unused part of her own large garden to a mostly-wild native plant community, solely by weeding, protecting the weeded ground from trampling and desiccation, and nurturing the wild native seedlings that would arise.
One day it may have wild pigeonwoods ...see our website for more about Michelle's garden, with photos of the pigeonwood seedlings found this week among the weeds.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
