New Zealand Botanicals

For millions of years, New Zealand’s plants had remained in isolation from the rest of the world. When the Polynesian explorers landed on the shores of Aotearoa New Zealand, about 750 yeas ago, from the sea to the towering mountain tops, was brimming with plants. Today, native plants are attracting increasing attention from scientists, with New Zealand plants being investigated to find new medicines, foods and cosmetics.
