Our extensive range

We specialise in native plants for restoration, conservation, wetlands, farm planting and landscaping projects. Our seeds are sourced from naturally occurring indigenous populations throughout Hawke’s Bay. Every summer and autumn we traverse the area for the widest range of seeds from all sorts of landscapes, collecting seeds from original wild plants and landscapes wherever possible. If you’re after a particular species, we’ll work with you to find the best option for your site.

Great service, great plants! Marie reviewed our lifestyle block planting project and gave valuable insights. Good range of healthy native plants supplied at reasonable prices which have flourished. Big thanks!
