Community Plant Giveaway 2026

We were very happy to participate in the South Dunedin Street Festival again this year! The Plant Giveaway was such a success last year that we decided to give away 140 native plants to help continue greening up our community with beautiful outdoor Aotearoa natives.

We hosted the giveaway from our office on King Edward St, where people could choose from five native varieties - three grasses and two trees:

• Carex trifida - Mutton-bird sedge

• Makomako - Aristotelia serrata

• Chionochloa rubra - Red Tussock “Rainbow” Grass

• Kōhūhū - Pittosporum tenuifolium

• Libertia ixioides - NZ Native Iris.

A huge thank you to Shetland St Community Organic Garden & Conservation Nursery and Tomahawk–Smails Beachcare Trust for providing the plants. We love supporting the amazing mahi these groups do in our community.
