The world needs more trees!

Every frame purchased from us = one native tree planted

We have dreams where our homes & cities are again surrounded by native bush. Thanks to you we are able to play a part in one day making that a reality.

Our home nursery

Over the past year we have set up a little nursery in our Ohoka property. It started off as a fun way of landscaping our property and teaching  our children how small actions over time = huge results.

We did not anticipate how much we would love it. The balance of both having full on jobs & then being able to re-energise ourselves by putting our hands in the soil was actually life changing and has had a huge impact on our mental health… Actually everything, even our relationship is stronger thanks to trees, old friends are commenting on how happy we seem now. It really is quite awesome.

We want to encourage more families to go out on seed collecting adventures. To learn how each seed germinates & watch it grow into a beautiful tree. It truely is the ultimate form of creativity.

We have ended up loving it so much that Ross is now studying horticulture!

WHERE WILL THE TREES BE PLANTED?

This will be a learning experience in how to build and manage native bush. We will be planting the first lot of trees on family land in Dunedin just above the city. Here we can care for it in the early days & learn more through watching it grow.

Once we have planted the Dunedin forest we have dreams of reforesting a piece of land up the Waitaki Valley. As we expand we plan on donating native plants to community projects. We will share our plantings on our Instagram.

Manuka

Our absolute favourite seed to gather & grow we are enjoying collecting a variety of different colours. We currently have over 1000 plants at various stages of growth.

Kowhai

We rock at growing Kowhai! Its the kids favourite seed to collect & watch grow

Bush Mix

We have trays and trays full of random little bushes and trees from locally collected seed. The kids get really excited and full a container of seeds. So far we have identified Hebe & Toetoe
