- Volunteer model — potting, watering, weeding, pruning by community volunteers
- Restoration supply — used for local restoration and community projects
Why it’s listed
The ecological-district-specific eco-sourcing is the same discipline the [[cape-flats-fynbos-nursery|Cape Flats Fynbos Nursery]] applies in South Africa — plants grown from genetic stock collected within the district they’ll be planted into. For West [[tamaki-makaurau|Auckland]], that means Waitākere-district seed for Waitākere-district restoration, not generic North Island natives. The stream-and-wetland specialization is also rare; most native nurseries chase the easier upland species, but stream and wetland natives are what holds floodplains and protects water quality.
