Our yard is located in Paremoremo, only a few minutes northwest of Albany. The community in this semi rural area have been the recipients of three Council Environmental Awards for Sustainability. ‘Weed Free Pare’ is one of the many categories locals are focused on. The yard we are leasing at 389 Paremoremo Rd is host to several targeted weed plants.
We are in the process of clearing the weed trees along the front roadside of the yard and are planting natives instead. There’s a fine selection of jasmine, gorse, pampas grass, asparagus plant and ginger all comfortably growing there. They are currently being replaced by flaxes, repositioning of mapau plants, native ferns, grasses, toi-toi, pseudopanax, pohutukawa, ake ake, and puka.
Our yard is where we store our landscape materials for jobs. At present we have a supply of paddock rock, river rock, large boulders and mulch.
