Native Plant Nursery

We grow native plants to order

for waterway and forest restoration

Native Plant Nursery

We grow a variety of native plants for regenerating waterways and forests. All our plants are locally sourced and grown from seed in Whanganui, making them perfect for taking root in the Manawatū-Whanganui region.

We do batch orders to grow in advance of when you need them, but, in any case, let us know what you need and we'll see what we can do.
