We've recently purchased 14 acres of ex farm for a house build, paddocks and we want to restore at least a couple of acres with a native plant regeneration.
So, we're looking for as many native plants as possible. Don't mind whether they're established plants, seedlings, potted or not. Prompt collection.

Please get in touch if you or your neighbours can help!
Thanks, Mike
