Wetland ecosystems.
Wetlands are home to a wide range of unique aquatic plants and animals and are considered the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems. There are multiple types of wetlands and the types are classified based on either:
the source of the water - freshwater, brackish or saltwater; from tidal estuarine floodplain springs or seeps, bogs or ponds
the dominant plants - which may be emergent vegetation (e.g. reeds and sedges) or woody vegetation (trees and shrubs - such as the kahikatea wetlands in South Westland and at Omaha).
Some wetlands will have multiple types of plants and be fed by multiple sources of water, making them difficult to classify.
Healthy ecosystems start with the right combination of plants. Here is a selection of plants from our plant library to help you start planning your ecosystem.

We see the interconnectedness within nature – and between people and the world – everyday. Nature knows there’s no such things as boundaries or straight lines.
We know the building blocks for the creation of ecosystems that are designed to last for decades and that will nourish and grow life around them.
Every day our plants are on a mission. We’re so proud of the many missions our plants are on. These are some of our favourite examples of ecosystems that have kept our fingernails dirty over the last few years.
Let’s grow. Together.
We’re easy to deal with. That’s another promise.
