    Where possible, we source seed from naturally occurring populations as close as practical to their original environment. This helps ensure the plants retain the hardiness and characteristics that have developed over generations in local conditions.

    • Improve plant establishment and long-term survival.
    • Preserve the natural genetic diversity of local ecosystems.
    • Maintain the unique character of Canterbury's native vegetation.
