Motukarara Open day When
18 April 2004 Location
Motukarara Nursery, Canterbury Once again, Motukarara Nursery will be holding its annual Open Day, on 18 April. This
year the theme will be "Planting for Survival", says Nursery Manager Jorge
Santos. "It is important to plant natives, not only for the plants' survival but also
for the survival of ecosystems and wildlife. By choosing the appropriate species for the
area, plantings have a greater chance of survival, which is what we try to encourage here.
The Open Day is an opportunity to gain an understanding of the whole process of choosing
plants and using the right techniques."
Guest speaker Isobel Gabites will be talking about native gardens, and Coast Care and
Travis Swamp have been invited to give talks and demonstrations throughout the day.
As well as selling a large selection of plants, there will be information booths set-up
by several organisations including Forest and Bird, Canterbury Regional Council,
Christchurch City Council Waterways Service, the Christchurch Environment Centre, Agenda
21, Addington Bush Society, and Historic Places Trust. Refreshments will be available.
Hope to see you all there! Keywords
