Community planting days are one of the most rewarding parts of what we do at Restore Native. Whether it’s a group of local families, a school, or a business team rolling up their sleeves, there’s something special about seeing people out on the land, putting native trees in the ground together.
But while planting days are great for connection and education, they also need to be done right if the outcome is going to last. Without the right prep and planning, all that effort can be lost to poor plant survival, weed pressure, or missed opportunities to enhance biodiversity.
That’s where we come in.
Planning for success
We work alongside groups to make sure their planting day is more than just a one-off event. Our goal is to help you create something that will thrive — a native planting that contributes to the landscape for decades to come.
Here’s what a well-supported planting day looks like:
Smart species selection – We supply the right mix of native plants for your site, ensuring they’re suited to the conditions and will establish well over time.
Site preparation – Good outcomes start before the first spade hits the ground. That means weed control, augered holes if needed, and clear spacing so plants aren’t competing from day one.
On-site guidance – One of our team will be there on the day to guide planting techniques, check spacing, and answer questions. Volunteers leave knowing they’ve done it right — and learned a thing or two.
Locally grown natives – All plants come from our nursery, so you can trust they’re tough, healthy, and grown with local conditions in mind.
A planting day that goes the distance
Whether you’re a community group restoring a reserve, a school wanting to teach tamariki about biodiversity, or a corporate team looking to give back — we can help you turn your planting day into a meaningful, lasting project.
With the right approach, these days deliver real results: improved biodiversity, cleaner waterways, stronger ecosystems, and a community that’s actively involved in caring for its environment.
