Want to control weeds easily, build up healthy live soil, or restore wild ecology to a part of your garden?

Tuition, site-specific advice and ongoing guidance are part of the service we offer.

In fact, it is essential that we explain the North Shore Wilds methodology to all new clients before we undertake any work for them, to make sure it meets their needs.

So our first visit to a new client's garden or premises usually takes an hour or longer, learning what the client is aiming for, offering our assessment of the situation and solutions, describing what they are likely to see if we undertake the work, and answering their general and specific questions about plant identification, stormwater management, erosion, or weed control.

If a small group of neighbours would like to share the costs of a site-specific demonstration and education session at a location and time that suits all the group, get in touch and we would be delighted to facilitate it, with follow-up sessions if wanted. (Thanks to Neighbourly member Katherine Boys for this suggestion).

Let us know if there is a shared interest, eg how to control a certain type of weed, or preventing erosion.

For example, weed vines, Tradescantia, and kikuyu are common requests we are very happy to give a focused training session on.

Reaching landowners and property managers

Hi,
I want to make people aware of my new garden/vegetation management service, primarily consisting of chemical-free weed-control, ie handweeding ( including hand tools where needed) for ecological restoration, ie turning a weedy mish-mash into intact plant communities native to our local forests, forest edges, streamsides and wetlands.

I produce self-managing wild plant communities free of environmental weeds, using detailed knowledge of our locally native plants at all stages from seeds and seedlings through to maturity, including trees, shrubs, herbs, vines, groundcovering creepers, grasses and mosses, so I very rarely need to buy or plant anything.

The service is aimed at those with a bit of rough land, who are aware of the potential beauty of restoration but can't do it all themselves.

So, how to find those people and let them know I am available to do the work or show them how?

I have done a few letter-box flyer drops, trying to reach the neighbourhoods around natural Reserves, but most mailboxes (like my own:) say "No junk mail" or similar.

To make promotion even more challenging, there isn't even a name for this sort of service for private properties, as it hasn't existed until now, as far as I know. I call it "Chemical-free weed control for ecological restoration", but it also involves landscaping and soil care.... improving soil structure, making sustainable paths, tidying up the surrounding area, etc, as required.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Unbelievable - weed spraying cowboys

Karen from Totara Vale

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...the council weed spraying contractor actually fired the wand from within his vehicle as he drove past my house. I have CCTV so I have the footage.
He was in like a little golf cart with tanks on the back and just fired!
I'm just Gobsmacked.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...the council weed spraying contractor actually fired the wand from within his vehicle as he drove past my house. I have CCTV so I have the footage.
He was in like a little golf cart with tanks on the back and just fired!
I'm just Gobsmacked.
So here's the mighty Auckland Council who don't even think we have a right to know they're spraying us so no forewarning and trying to tell us their contractors are trained and certified and bla bla and then I see that. It was about 0830 this morning when the kids were coming to school at Target Road.
If I hadn't seen that and took my dog for a walk...you get my point.
We need to get these people under control. Never mind the weeds!

When it was dark, my brothers would pick me up and we would walk the streets... I hated school and wanted to drop out early.

Then I was introduced to a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme for young people that need a boost in life. It helped me build my self-confidence and social skills.

We were paired with a mentor, my mentor Tony believed in me like no one else. Because of him I stayed in school, went to university and now have a full time job.
