Aigantighe Art Gallery manager Cara Fitzgerald prepares for The Great Great Great Native Plant Swap or Buy.
A Timaru-born and raised artist is offering South Cantabrians a chance to swap or buy native plants as part of her exhibition raising awareness of the natural environment. Ann Shelton, now Wellington-based, has organised The Great Great Great Native Plant Swap or Buy on Saturday with the Aigantighe Art Gallery in Timaru as an addition to her exhibition. Shelton, halfway into her two month exhibition, is asking members of the public to bring native plants to swap, or buy and promote the original species in the region.
