I'm a native plant activist. I like to speak, on any platform I'm given, about the benefits of native flora. From encouraging soil health to literally saving the native biodiversity in the ecosystem, native plants are amazing. #nativeplants #nativebiodiversity ##savetheplanet ##savethebees #flowers

It's the birds and other wildlife that they harbour that I appreciate the most about hedges through farmland. Native plants also attract native wildlife including pollinators.

#nativebiodiversity onfarm in NZ is also on the rise. On the #CanterburyPlains there has been a steady increase in native biodiversity planting for hedge rows & shelter belts. More native plants = more native birds which displace crop damaging exotic birds. Win/win
