delighted to experience a range of outdoor environments, advised gardeners and non-gardeners alike on our unique methodology, and seen them enjoy the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some have been short-term restorations, recovering a well-planned garden from just a few years of weed invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others are long-term projects, creating the conditions for the desired plants to succeed, and for easy weed control in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are finding your garden hard to manage, through lack of time or difficult conditions, we offer a thorough site assessment in which we will listen to your needs and wishes, with identification of both weeds and any unrecognised free, wild and low maintenance plants&#8230; including hidden gems like the native tree seedlings, kahikatea and tanekaha, discovered this week and seen below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
