Poll: Does the South Island have cultural cringe about our native plants?
Fiona Eadie, head gardener at Dunedin's iconic Larnach Castle, says she hears from gardeners all the time that New Zealand native plants are "boring". Do we have a native plant cultural cringe? And, if so, is there a difference between what gardeners in the North Island and the South Island think?
