All about Planting workshop, July 2025

Participants from viticulture, farming, urban and lifestyle blocks came together at Clos Henri vineyard to hear all about planting, starting with a presentation from Wairau Nature Network coordinator Wendy Sullivan on planning, preparation, planting and protection. We then went on a small tour of the restoration efforts of Clos Henri vineyard.

Clos Henri have been restoring their central valley since 2022, and are a perfect example of incorporating native biodiversity into a productive landscape. Participants then smashed out planting 250 trees in a hour before enjoying a gourmet BBQ and the opportunity to taste Clos Henris organic wine.
