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.

Rorippa divaricata
Height: 1m;  Spread: 1m
Matangaoa (Herb)
Perennial herb. Light green leaves up to 15cm long and white flowers. All parts are delicately and pleasantly flavoured, and together with Cooks scurvy grass, native celery, and native spinach, make a great indigenous summer salad.
