Activity Details

Find out how to propagate native plants from seeds and cuttings and then pot the young plants into tubes and later on, as they grow, to replant them into larger pots. Learn about soil mixes and potting techniques from other members. Observe the growth of plants in the council’s propagation  ‘igloos’ and shadehouse. Experience the satisfaction of producing healthy established plants ready to give away to the community at special events. The nursery has excellent facilities with sheltered areas and a landscaped environment. You will enjoy the quiet as you do something productive in this peaceful setting.
