Learn about Native Restoration Plants

Native PlantsLearning Te Reo Māori
Written By Kim Manunui

These cards are a resource that Kids Greening Taupō use. We use them as a matching game with the plants that we have to plant at our Taupō native restoration sites. If people are trying to work out what a particular plant is, they can read the information on the back of the card that describes it to figure it out. It is for this reason that we describe the differences between similar looking species e.g. young tikouka and harakeke plants.

We have included interesting information and facts that we like to share about the plants. These often include traditional uses, rongoa, usage by native birds/invertebrates etc.

You can download the pdf of these cards here and print them out. We glued the name of the plant on one side and the information on the other and then laminated them to make cards.

Here is a printable matching game that you might like too. You could use them both together!

Here’s a restoration plant scavenger hunt

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
