Plant Sale Fundraiser - Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust
The WBRT is a charitable organization operating in Ohariu Valley. The trust takes in over 800 birds, ducks and ducklings each year to rehabilitate them and enable them to be released back into the wild.
To assist with the funding of the trust they are selling a variety of native plants which are available from their base situated at 583 Ohariu Valley Rd Ohariu . The plants are priced to move and those currently available are:
$4.00 each: Mountain flax, NZ Iris, Houpara, Toro, NZ toe toe, Miniature toe toe, Coprosma repens
$6.00 each : Kahikatea, Matai, Rimu
$8.00 each : Griselinia littoralis, Five Finger, Pseudopanax lessonii Sabre
$10.00 each: Pohutukawa, Titoki
Payment options: Cash (there is an honesty box at the stall), self-service EFTPOS machine available at the stall or by direct credit to the bird rehab bank account: 38 9019 0293318 00
There are bulk quantities of plants available (in some cases 100s of each variety) so only a selection of what is available is at the stall. If you are interested in purchasing in bulk, please contact us via julie@583.co.nz
