Officially launched in 2016, Bass Coast Landcare Network's Indigenous plant nursery has been a huge success. We currently have two greenhouses, two hardening off areas, a wetland pond and a potting up area. The nursery relies heavily on dedicated volunteers, who do great work collecting seed, propagating, and caring for our native plants, so that by late Autumn-Winter each year we have a nice supply of around 30,000 plants for revegetation projects. In keeping with the social side of the group, visits to other nurseries or places of interest, such as French Island, are organised during the quieter months.
The nursery group meets every Friday from 9.30am-12.30pm in Bass, at the Bass Recreation Reserve. If you are interested in joining the nursery group, contact Robbie Gray at r[email protected] |
