Ōtari waits for council nursery decision
- Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush Trust
- Is it in or is it out? The current small nursery has little room for hosting visiting groups The current small nursery has little room for hosting visiting groups Ōtari’s Landscape Development Plan has been flagged for axing from the Council’s 2024 Long-term Plan. But Council officers have recommended it stays, given it sets aside $3.1 million for much-needed staff facilities. We will learn this Thursday (21st) if Councillors agree, although there is now hope, given the latest financial advice related to insurance costs, that LTP cuts will not be necessary.

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.
