Final plant sale of the year
- Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush Trust
- Now here’s a sight to behold. Ōtari plants for sale. We have a rather big plant sale coming up and these are just some of the offerings. All the sale plants have been propagated in our Trust’s own nursery from the Ōtari garden collections, and carefully selected to suit Wellington garden conditions. This will be the year’s final sale: the plants need homes! Our nursery manager/chief propagator/green-fingered Jane will be there to discuss and advise about the best options for your garden.
