Welcome Wildlife to your Garden
Nau mai kararehe mā ki tō koutou māra - Welcome wildlife to your garden as part of Te Wiki o Te Taiao Conservation Week.
Join rangers and locals for some gentle gardening in the Swanns Road Wildlife Garden to celebrate Te Wiki o Te Taiao Conservation Week.
Backyards play an important role in increasing biodiversity in our city. If your garden is a place where wildlife wants to live, then it is also likely to be a good place for people too.
We are developing a section of the red zone into a wildlife garden, that highlights what we can all do in our gardens to support and encourage more biodiversity in the urban environment.
The space features native plants found naturally on the Canterbury plains that have strong relationships with our manu birds and pepeke insects in terms of providing kai, marumaru shelter and hanga kōhanga nesting places.
Join us for our regular Friday gardening session and explore the names of the plants, birds and insects. Finish with morning tea and a kēmu patapatai quiz!
We provide tools, please wear sturdy hū footwear and bring your own takawai water bottle.
Meeting Point: 51 Swanns Road
