Contrary to popular opinion, summer planting is fine as long as adequate water is provided throughout any prolonged dry periods. This allows you to take advantage of increased summer growth. |

Saturday 4th August 2018 was our last day for general trading, and now, a year later, we have no remaining stock. In response to requests from the many customers who have used our website as a prime source of information on native plants and their needs, we will continue to maintain the website in the short term. If you should be interested in purchasing our website and database with a view to using it in a way that would ensure its continued availability, we’d be happy to talk to you. Enquiries can be made by leaving a phone message on (09) 818 6467 (work) or (09) 813 0229 (home), or by emailing info@oratianatives.co.nz. Messages will be checked regularly, but not daily.
We would like to thank all those who have been our customers over the years. Some have been such frequent visitors we now count them as friends. And thanks also, to the many who expressed their sadness that they can visit no more. It has been heart-warming to know that so many have appreciated our efforts. May you and your plantings thrive into the future. All the best, Geoff and Bev Davidson,
