Our Rural Design revegetation crew have been hard at work planting near Milldale. 🌱

This project has seen thousands of native plants go into the ground, helping to restore natural habitats, improve water quality, and enhance biodiversity in the area. It's always rewarding to see these landscapes transform and know we're making a positive impact for future generations.

A huge thank you to our dedicated crew for their hard work and commitment on site. 👏

We recently welcomed a group of students from Otamatea High School's Year 12 Nga Ara Whetu-Career Navigator to Rural Design for some career inspiration. It was great to share insights into the horticulture, landscaping, and environmental restoration industries, and showcase the diverse career opportunities available within our sector.
Thank you Josie Gritten Photography for the photos of the day!

Something a little different from us this week! 🌿

We've been busy creating these beautiful planted pots, combining a selection of quality plants to bring colour, texture, and life to an outdoor space.

It's always great to mix things up and showcase another side of what we do at Rural Design. 🌱
