At the Landcare community nursery, plants are romping away as the mercury starts to rise. We have potted up well over 2,000 seedlings in the last couple of months, so the nursery is filling up fast with healthy new eco-sourced plants. In their massed ranks, they look impressive - a testament to volunteers who have put in so much hard work throughout the year.
It is always great to have volunteer effort recognised and a recent visitor to the nursery - our new MP Andrew Bayly - was quick to remark on what great work Awhitu Landcare is doing.

Andrew was keen to check out the nursery and meet the volunteers that were hard at work in the potting shed - he even joined us for our management-approved tea break! It is heartening to see our new MP showing such an interest in local volunteer groups such as our own and we were very pleased that he was so positive about our contribution to the Awhitu community and environment.
