A community native plant nursery feels so much better when it has a border of native plants around it! Fantastic work by our volunteers this morning, getting the plants in the ground - thank you!

Plants are laid out around the outside of the nursery ready to be planted at our 25 Jan volunteer session. We’ll be there from 9-11am if you’d like to come and help us plant them.

Update: no Wednesday night session

Please note there will not be the Wednesday night session on 21 Jan.

Next volunteer session is this coming Sunday 25 Jan at 9-11am. Potting up has finished for the season, so we’ll be planting out the perimeter of the nursery. Hope to see you there.

The last of this season’s seedlings will be potted up this Sunday at 9-11am. Come along and help get pittosporum, coprosma propinqua and flax seedlings into the pots they’ll live in for the next couple of years. Hope to see you there!

Another great volunteer session at the nursery with over 300 kahikatea and Hall’s totara potted up. Thanks to our super star volunteers who made the trip in during the holidays.

The kahikatea that were potted up are destined for a spot near the river, and the Hall’s totara will in future find a home around Sawpit Gully.

03/01/2026

2026 nursery sessions are go! Over the next few weeks we’ll be focused on potting up totara, kahikatea, pseudopanax ferox, pittosporum, coprosma propinqua, and flax.

Friends and family staying? Bring them along to help out too!

- Sunday 4 Jan 9-11am

Here’s to our amazing volunteers who made it along to the last nursery session for 2025, and potted up another 500 seedlings. Merry Xmas to everyone, and see you in ‘26. Next nursery session is Sun 4 Jan 9-11am.

The Arrowtown Community Nursery potting up sessions continue rain or shine (but hopefully not snow!). The next few sessions will be on:

· Sunday 21 Dec 9-11am
· Sunday 4 Jan 9-11am
· Sunday 11 Jan 9-11am

If you’re around and you can help, that would be awesome - we’d love to see you!

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be potting up around 4,000 seedlings, and your help would make a huge difference. Come for a little while, stay for an hour, or stay the whole time — whatever suits you.

For anyone who hasn’t been onsite yet: the Arrowtown Community Nursery is located in the Queenstown-Lakes Community Housing Trust Tewa Banks housing development, off Jopp Street. The gate will be open at 9am and you’ll spot the nursery in the back right hand corner as you enter. For safety, please don’t enter any of the building sites as you make your way to the nursery.

The Arrowtown Community Nursery is officially open!

From Sunday 26 Oct we’ll be kicking off volunteer days to start growing the trees planted by the community at the Arrowtown Choppers Beech Parties. These trees will become the forests of the future in the hills around Arrowtown.

The nursery wouldn’t have been possible without the support and generosity of all the people and businesses who’ve donated time, skills, energy, funding and support. We can’t say thank you enough - and our future forests can’t say thank you enough. Each one of you has made a huge difference.

It’s time to go grow some trees!!
