HOW WE STARTED

COMMUNITY NURSERY OVERVIEW Kia ora, I'm Leeann Whatuira, founder of the Community Nursery.  Our nursery was established in June 2018 as an Incorporated Societ,y in response to community concerns about the Wairoa River's environmental health. The community's feedback was clear "Plant Native Trees"  With support from local individuals and organisations, we've grown from a small initiative to a thriving native plant nursery. Our achievements include Propagating over 190,000 native plants for lcal restoration projects, constructing three shade houses, a hardening out area. The construction of 19 wicking beds. Developing a sustainable solar-powered watering system   We are proud to offer volunteer opportunities and educational programs for all ages, fostering community engagement and environmental awarness. Our nursery is open Tuesday's, Thursday's and Saturday's, 11 am - 3pm. We are situated at 72 Lucknow St (Behind Od Fire Station), Wairoa  We are grateful for the support of Wairoa District Council and Wairoa Envirochools, who regularly bring students to participate in nursery activities and learn about native plant conservation.  We invite you to join us and contribute to our mission to Repair, Restore our local environment.
