Why it’s listed
A community lease on a historic brickworks site, secured in 2023, is recent and operationally young — but the 75-species catalog and 20,000-plant annual output puts it on the same scale as much-older operations. The Urban Ngahere alignment is [[directory|the directory]]-relevant detail: [[tamaki-makaurau|Auckland]]‘s strategy treats urban forest as infrastructure (canopy is service), and a community nursery whose stated work is feeding that strategy is doing substrate-builder work upstream of municipal planning.
