Heatwave conditions mean plenty of this................



On hot days, potted plants dry out very quickly and if it is windy too, it can be a pretty big challenge to keep all of our plants hydrated. This nursery is overhead watered automatically overnight. If an extreme day is forecast, we will program an extra water cycle before we open for the day. By 12pm, we will start hand watering thousands of potted plants, seedlings and advanced trees to get them through till the next programmed watering at 6pm.

It takes a lot of time and effort to get and keep a plant in a salable condition, let alone thousands of them all at once.
