Small groups to learn ecological restoration of home gardens

Jenny from

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.
