Tomorrow! 🌿 The Motu Community Plant Fair.

These plants are raised by hand and eco-sourced right here on the island. June is one of the best times to get your natives in the ground, giving them plenty of time to establish strong root systems before the warmer, drier months arrive.

The plants you see here will all be available tomorrow - karo, native hibiscus, kōwhai, kākābeak and many more.

Come along, say hello, and support your local native plant nursery - grown with care, right here on the motu.

It’s peak planting season and the absolute perfect time to get your natives in the ground 🌿

Join us at The Motu Community Plant Fair and spend the day with the crew down at Medlands. We’d love to see the community come together to celebrate local growing, good food, and native plants.

We’ll be open 10am–2pm!

What’s on:
• Free coffee with every purchase of 5+ plants ☕
• Amazing range of locally grown Nmtive plants for sale
• Plant + flower face painting for kids
• Sausage sizzle

See you there!

Locally made cups to go with our locally roasted coffee! Talk about a fine match. We love Sarah’s ceramics and were lucky to have her throwing down on Aotea.

Open Friday-Saturday 9am - 12pm alongside who are looking lush at the moment with so many plants! 🌱

The calm before the storm. We're open today before Cyclone Vaianu rolls in. Stay safe everyone 🙏

Come visit us tomorrow, Friday, in Medlands from 9-2 and get your coffee fix too!

(We will be closed this Saturday in prep for Vaianu)

Planting is climate change mitigation 🌫️
