Why Native Plants are a MUST HAVE in your Garden

As a proudly New Zealand owned and operated company, we’re all about celebrating the magic of our country. We understand the importance of protecting the unique wonders that make our country special. One way we do that is by supplying and cherishing our native plants, which play a huge role in the New Zealand eco-system.

Native plants are crucial to our diverse environment. Here, we are geographically isolated from the rest of the world, meaning that we have a unique range of flora that can only be found within our shores. In fact - 80% of New Zealand’s native plants cannot be found elsewhere, making them extremely special and rare!

Planting New Zealand Natives in your garden creates a huge impact and bring a splash of kiwi charm. You simply cannot underestimate their power to transform your outdoor space into a botanical wonderland!

What this means for your garden?

  • The best part is, these plants are locals! They're climatized to New Zealand's unique environment, so they know the drill when it comes to our weather conditions. That means less hassle for you. Reduced care and reduced watering are key benefits found when going native, leaving you with more time on your hands to enjoy your garden.

  • Another reason why native plants will be a sturdy addition to your garden, is their co-evolution with local pests and diseases, making them more resistant to certain threats compared to introduced species. This resilience can help maintain a balanced ecosystem and reduce the need for interventions.

  • Another added bonus is the increased wildlife it will bring to your oasis. Native plants are known for attracting birds and a variety of other delightful creatures that call New Zealand home. They provide essential food sources and habitat for these species that rely on specific flora for fuel.

So, whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting to dig in the dirt, consider adding a bit of Kiwi flair to your outdoor oasis. New Zealand native plants are like a bridge between your garden and our amazing natural wonder. They're easy to care for, attract lovely visitors, and add that extra something that makes your garden truly special. Let's work together to make your garden a slice of New Zealand's natural beauty!
