Garden taming
Gardening in Wellington's southern suburbs
Galinsoga & agapanthus are in the speedy spreaders category.
Leave it to Wild about Weeds. We know about wild weedy areas and get stuck in, discover the positive features, reuse what's available and identify areas needing extra attention.
We'll arrange an initial chat to meet you and your garden. If you’d like to go ahead with the work, email us and we’ll put you in the schedule and contact you before we do the mahi.
It doesn't take long for nature to reclaim an untended garden. The thugs smother or push the more delicate flowers aside. Before you know it, you have a jungle. Despite your best intentions, life gets in the way.

Prioritising areas near paths and visible from the house, we:
- Weed around desirable plants. If you’re OK with weedspraying, on a suitable day, we’ll spray areas away from desirable plants, especially the invasive plants.
- Triage the invasive plants (Weedbusters) vis the not so bad weeds that can be used as mulch or composted to improve the soil. Healthy soil with microorganism and fungi activity is the basis of healthy plants.
- Deal to plants growing over paths and accessways.
- Cut down dead plants (shrubs and small trees). We can lay the branches horizontally across a slope to hold water and nutrients on the property. Also decomposing wood helps garden ecology.
- Remove green waste.
Fennel in full flower. Cut it down before the seeds dry and spread.
Woolbags aka fadges for the green waste.
