Swan plants for sale

Leslie from Karori

Swan Plant Rescue
Many of you are crying out for swan plants and a North Island grower has generously offered a solution.
Bruce Sanson from The Plant Place in Hamilton has offered to make a trip next week as far south as Christchurch with a load of 1.2 to 1.5 metre swan plants, priced at $5 each. To make it worth his while, he will need to sell at least 600 of them. He could drop them off at points anywhere between Hamilton and Christchurch, of course.
Remember that there are potentially two more generations of monarch caterpillars to come this season – and each generation the number of monarchs increases hugely. If we provide plenty of food for them now, we have more monarchs overwintering…
Originally this offer was for financial members of the MBNZT but it is so generous, and this is what we are set up to do, that we are opening it to anyone…
But please consider taking out a subscription to our magazine as a way of paying it forward. The more members we have, the more we can help NZ butterflies.
If you and your friends and colleagues are interested, please:
· contact your friends and others and see how many plants they would like,
· email brucesanson@hotmail.com with an indication of how many plants you would buy IF this trip goes ahead. He will need to know your location, quantity you can distribute, and phone numbers would be helpful too. You will be paying him cash on delivery.
Remember, this trip won’t happen if people want one or two – he needs to get a total order of 600 or so to make the trip happen – and you need to act quickly.
For more information email brucesanson@gmail.com, SWAN PLANTS in the subject would be helpful too.
