25.01.2022 October stocklist now available online - for your larger planting projects.

25.01.2022 Spring is Springing! It never fails to amaze me the birds that nest in our tubestock, we are surrounded by natural forest and revegetation but some birds arent worried about the sprinklers and enjoy setting up home on our nursery benches, and dont worry we flag them and work around these nests when they occur. These are both active nests.

09.01.2022 The Kids in Action team, an amazing group of talented and knowledable presenters and two incredible videographers have created a suite of wonderful videos based on the Sunshine Coast Kids in Action 2020 theme "We are Botanica".

Whilst these resources have been designed for kids from local schools across the Sunshine Coast, they are open, free and accessible for everyone to enjo...y. Make sure you pop back and have another look as we are loading videos weekly. Please ensure you adhere to the correct Protocols of Country by watching our 3 different Welcome to Country talks.

06.01.2022 Great time to be feeding the garden - here's some of our favourite products!

05.01.2022 New environmental weed identified on the Blackall Range. Susie Duncan from Hinterland Bush Links located this mystery plant (at the time) near Lake Baroon and we grew on so we could ID when it flowered, which it did yesterday. Aristea ecklonii - Blue Stars, what a stunning blue flower, but make no mistake, from information online for sites further south, this plant can become a serious weed. Being in the Iris family Iridaceae, the fruit are a dry capsule and would only usually be dispersed by gravity eg falling or being flicked by passing fauna or wind, but as this has turned up in the bush well away from gardens, perhaps there is potential for bird dispersal? Definately one to watch and inspite of its beauty - control!

05.01.2022 Brush Turkey's Karen Shaw, together with Sally Johnston (Black Cockatoo Consultancy) and Mandy Botterell are the coodinators of this year's Sunshine Coast Kids in Action Program - an award winning environmental education program for local kids. If you're an educator or have kids (yrs 4-7) who may like to encourage their schools to be involved, have a listen to what we have planned and what we've been tinkering away at. This is going to be AMAZING!! "Major announcement... to all Teachers, Students, Volunteers, Mentors, we are going Virtual for this year's EPD. Secure your registration for this year's program and have access to unprecedented content that is aligned to the Australian Curriculum and 2 cross-curriculum priorities - Sustainability and Embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures. All details in the clip. ENJOY and see you at this year's Kids in Action 2020 program."
