Trip Report – 17 April 2010:   Arnold Dench’s NZ threatened plants’ garden workbee

An enthusiastic band of people carefully removed persistent, ground-cover weeds such as veld grass / Ehrharta erecta, and the weedy native, Oxalis exilis, from among the plant collections, while others pruned a Chamaecyparis obtusa var. cripsii ‘Aurea’ to let more light onto the shrubs.
