Method records
Export procedures, lifting technique and establishment practice, written by the people doing the work.
Ornatec knowledge archive
Four decades of project memory, published as living records.
Method statements, capability documents, species catalogues and project files from forty years of international horticulture, rebuilt as clean digital records anyone can read, search and learn from.
What lives here
The working papers behind the landmark projects.
Most companies show you their showreel. This archive shows the documents underneath it: the export method that moved four thousand palms to Dubai, the capability statement that took an Australian team into the Gulf, the species catalogues whose thirty-year-old palettes still anchor arid projects today.
Species intelligence
Catalogues and regional references with honest tolerance notes, proven across decades of projects.
Capability and project records
The prequalifications, proposals and species lists behind engagements from Manila to the Red Sea.
