Natural Planting
Regina van Oostrum,
In response to Barry Cleverley’s letter (Forest & Bird, February 2000) I take the seedheads from the rengarenga rock lilies planted at our shopping centre and scatter them along our rocky coast where they are supposed to grow naturally, but are scarce. Also I wonder what happens to all good used planter bags? They could be reused or maybe cleaned and sold at half price for fundraising.
Waihi Beach. A botanical purist would suggest that replanting natives should really be done only with seed gathered from local wild stock, to maintain the integrity of the local gene pool. Gathering such seed is a pleasant, seasonal task.
