Want to grow new plants in garden?
We recently introduced new plants in our nursery, now it's time to spread them into your gardens.
This weekend we present you Dwarf Toe Toe.
It is a popular grass plant native to New Zealand, usually found in our coastal regions. The plant was originally used to line walls and ceilings of early Māori homes.
Currently in our nursery are 68 miniature Toe Toe, also known as Chionochloa Flavicans.
We recommend planting these along hedges or to fill up empty spaces in your garden.
The plant’s most recognisable features are its heavenly cream-coloured plumes and weeping green leaves. They will grow up to 1 metre tall and can support all types of rough weather conditions. Although, perhaps the most appealing aspect of having Toe Toe in your garden is how low maintenance they are. Toe Toe leaves can be left untrimmed and their plumes untouched with little effect on their overall appearance.
So if you’re looking for a native, low maintenance and visually stunning plant, the miniature Toi Toi may be the one for you.

With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;
with piercing force, I crunch out fate.

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day
We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.
It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
