Berhampore Nursery

At Berhampore Nursery, the Council grows trees and plants for Wellington's public parks, gardens, and reserves.

A nursery for the Council's work

Berhampore Nursery is only able to provide plants directly to community groups and road reserve applicants, during the designated pick-up times from May through to August.

We're unable to assist with the following:

  • selling plants for use on private property
  • donating plants for personal projects
  • providing plants directly for landscaping work – for example, a slip near a property.

We recommend your local regional nursery to buy the right native plants for your area.

Working year-round, the Council's Berhampore Nursery:

  • grows 100,000 eco-sourced native plants every year for Wellington's gardens, parks, and reserves
  • provides plants for Council and community restoration work
  • provides horticultural advice via email or phone
  • hosts nursery visits when applicable
  • consults on urban horticulture projects and activities as requested.

Eco-sourced plants

The plants grown at Berhampore Nursery are all grown from eco-sourced seeds, collected by Council staff.

We grow plants that would have originally occurred in an area as they have the best chance of surviving in restoration planting and keep our flora varied and distinct to Wellington.

Plants for volunteer planting

Although Berhampore Nursery does not sell plants commercially, we support volunteer community planting by supplying plants and planting advice to:

  • environmental community groups doing restoration planting
  • volunteer residents looking to plant public roadside and reserve.
