Young (Wai-Ora Forest Landscapes Ltd.)
Our
two operations, a native plant retail and wholesale nursery and
a landscape contracting service have assisted in planting and growing
over a million plants in the Canterbury area since its inception
around 10 years ago. With the revenue from the projects going back
into Wai-Ora Trust, helping serve the community or as the Trust
motto states "Helping People Grow."
The
Nursery specialises in growing and supplying Ecologically
Sourced native plants. Many of these are used for restoration projects
like transforming our city drains into waterway wetlands, developing
reserves for local councils, subdivision developments, commercial
sites and private clients.
The
Landscape Services have been busy planting out 60,000 plants
for Clearwater Golf Resort, completing a 3 year project planting
out 20,000 plants on ANZAC Drive on the city ring road, a further
16,000 plants at North Brook near Rangiora and 16,000 plants at
Kaiapoi Lakes and numerous other projects in and around Canterbury.
