A Hapū-Grown Journey.
From seed to soil, we grow with whakapapa, kaitiakitanga, and care — restoring native ecosystems, reconnecting whānau to whenua, and building a sustainable legacy for Aotearoa.

Whakapapa-Grown

Each plant is grown locally from eco-sourced seed, guided by mātauranga Māori and our connection to the whenua.

Restoration Ready

Whether for whenua, kura, or marae — our native plant stock is hardy, ethically grown, and ready to return home.
Rooted in Whenua.
Guided by Whānau.
Grown with Purpose.

Te Orewai Tupua Native Nursery is a Hapu-led initiative born from the whenua In Tai Tokerau (Northland) of Aotearoa. Our roots run deep through generations of kaitiaki — guardians of the land — who understand the power of native flora not just as plants, but as taonga.

Our nursery was established with a simple goal: restore the land while restoring our people. We grow and nurture native species that heal the environment, reconnect communities with their roots, and support long-term ecological restoration.

We believe every plant carries a story. From the seed to the soil, from our hands to your whenua, every step is guided by Mātauranga Māori, collaboration, and aroha.

Whether you're a local school, eco restoration crew, or whānau looking to bring life to your land — you're part of our kaupapa.
