Community Nursery Open after the winter break

Community Nursery Open after the winter break

The Community Nursery is open again, its spring and seedlings are coming up.  The cuttings we took in June are starting to show signs of life.

It’s a great time to look forward to all the good things coming up in summer. It’s also time to look forward to planting your native trees and shrubs, establishing shelterbelts, maybe put in a pond? It’s a good time to get advice on the right plants for your own situation, so come along on a Friday morning.

In the nursery it’s time to spring-clean – weeding out old stock that hasn’t done well over winter and prepare areas for newly propagated plants. The pricking out seedlings, potting up and weeding, weeding and more weeding!

The Education Centre is also open for bookings – school visits, workshops etc, so get in touch if you want to hire the centre.

We also have a new volunteer! Chris’s Mum is over from the UK for a holiday and is the newest member of our workforce!
