Hobsonville Plant Network

WHO ARE WE?

A partnership has been established between EcoMatters Environment Trust and Hobsonville Land Company to:

Help protect and sustain the history and ecology of the area.

Build a plant network to grow native and edible plants for use by the developers and nearby residents.

Provide a community space for householders to come and ask questions about, and get help with gardening, composting, weed control, landscaping,   and other related activities.

Through the plant network we hope to increase the knowledge and capacity in nearby industries.

The Hobsonville Plant Network will be a community space devoted to sustainable development and education.

WHAT WE DO?

Right in the centre of the developing site of Hobsonville Point our partnership is setting up a plant network and a sustainable development open-house.

The plant network will propagate and raise seedlings to plant locally in both the existing area and development.

The house will be a place where you can learn plant propagation, composting, edible gardening, weed control and how else you could keep your garden green.

It will also act as a place where you can hang out with your family and friends and help us to contribute to the future and community of Hobsonville Point and take home plants for your own enjoyment.

As the network evolves you might get some inspiration as to what to plant and do in your own backyard.
