Serendipitous supply
When the Monarch Butterfly NZ Trust wanted to give a gift of plants, locally sourced from Rarangi Beach, east of Blenheim, they came to Oratia. Not only could we provide an eco-sourced species, it was also a plant which had since disappeared from the region!

This is the Trust's story.

Great photo, Gary. It certainly shows how successful Dichondra can be as a lawn. Do you have any maintenance tips you can share here? Cheers Geoff

Thanks Geoff and Jenny. I have bought a $12 electric weedeater off trademe and gone around the edges, short back and sides, still happy with it, I will wait for about a year all up until I try some weedkiller, in the meantime will just keep picking out the weeds with a screwdriver. cool.

Hi Gary What area was the lawn and how did you calculate the number & plug size? Did you a particular soil base?
