25.01.2022 Backyard blossoms offer more than just the aesthetic appeal of spring flowers. They also have unexpected uses in the kitchen.

21.01.2022 Layering was a common form of vegetative propagation back in the days before hormone rooting compounds, which make taking cuttings much more successful. Layeri...ng most commonly entailed cutting half way through a suitable stem and pegging the cut section just below the surface of the soil. This practice allowed the parent plant to sustain the cut stem while roots were formed. A variation is aerial layering, where the cut stem is covered in sphagnum moss and covered by a waterproof membrane. Currently cling wrap plastic film is used, which in turn may be covered by aluminium foil. Fifteen months ago, plants-woman Kristen Henty came and made aerial layers on a plant of Camellia chrysantha syn C. nitidissima. Yesterday, Yvonne Baker and myself decided to check the outcome. Three of the layers had produced varying amounts of root and one had thus far only produced callus. These have all now been potted. Follow the images. An interesting observation was that wetas of varying sizes emerged from the three rooted layers. I am not an entomologist, so do not know, but suspect that an adult weta had earlier bored through the wrapping and had laid eggs. If so I hope we have not uncovered the young wetas too soon. The other observation is that it is seldom possible to make images without feline direction. See more

14.01.2022 Create your own nature mandala using whatever natural materials you can find in your garden or on your walk. A nature mandala is a circular and non-permanent sy...mbol using patterns to represent the circle of life. This nature-based activity is a creative and meditative project that the whole family can do and have fun with together 1. Gather your materials. These might be anything natural you have found such as twigs, leaves, seedpods, stones, shells, rocks, petals, flowers, grasses- whatever you are drawn to. Think about collecting different textures and colours within your natural materials. Or collect only a certain colour such as only greens or blues for a cohesive colour story. 2. Find a nice flat surface to work on. It could be concrete, your kitchen table or a patch of grass- just a space that is flat and clear. Your mandala can be as small, or as big as you want. You are only limited by the surface you choose. 3. Decide what your centre motif will be. This will be the starting point for your mandala. You might like to use a whole flower for a large centre, or you could use a tiny stone. It’s completely up to you. 4. Now start your mandala pattern. You might like to work in rings around your centrepiece, perhaps with a repeating pattern such as petal, stone, petal, stone. Or you might like each ring to be made up of all the same materials, such as a single ring of leaves, then a single ring of petals and so on. You might like to create long lines that come out from the centre of your mandala with sticks and flowers. Remember you are creating a circular shape as your finished mandala. 5. Once you have finished, step back and admire your work and share your creation using #BaysideGreenworld and #BaysideMandala. Get inspired by visiting our Greenworld exhibition online where artists explore the relationship between an individual and their surroundings and the role nature plays in human consciousness and our wellbeing: https://www.bayside.vic.gov.au/greenworld-exhibition-immers

09.01.2022 Kids love bugs! And kids of all ages will love these beautiful eco-system information boards. Our collection of 14 ecosystem information boards are a wonderful... introduction to common insects and reptiles found in Australian backyards and how they help our gardens to grow. Each board is engraved, using NSW Foundation Font, with details of the insects name, where they live, what they eat and an interesting fact about them. The beautiful images are printed on the outer side of the perspex, giving them a unique 3D effect. Timber stands are also included in the set, so you can have them sitting up on display or explore them on a lightbox. http://ow.ly/h5tq50B0Vdl love bugs!

06.01.2022 The time when you had to be an artist if you were going to be a scientist...

05.01.2022 The Woorndoo Land Protection Group have been doing some amazing grassland restoration work to complement their beautiful local flowering grassland remnants. Her...e they have turned a weed infested roadside into high quality grassland habitat. John Delpratt, David Franklin and the wonderful members of the Woorndoo Land Protection Group have since sown another scalped roadside and it too is looking great. It's organisations like the Woorndoo Land Protection Group and the Euroa Arboretum featured in a recent post that are demonstrating the importance of soil scalping and direct seeding. At the moment this is the most effective way of restoring high diversity plant communities. Have a look at the Woorndoo Land Protection Groups Facebook page for more information. https://www.facebook.com/groups/540399562959460/?ref=group_header See more

05.01.2022 Thanks to all those patient people who listened to this morning's live stream about the Victorian Volcanic Plains grasslands - the audio and information Aggie a...nd Ben gave was excellent, the visuals provided by one bar of phone service, not so much. As we know there were many wanting to see what these flowers we were showing you look like, here they are! All of these images were taken by Ben on the roadside we visited. To watch the video while looking at these images, it is now available on our website: www.ghcma.vic.gov.au/nature-and-the-cma/ We are also going to head back to this site and record a video (which doesn't require phone service!) and pop it up in a couple of weeks when the roadside is in full bloom, and take you all to Wickcliffe to show you a much larger Button Wrinklewort population and some more amazing native flowers of South-West Victoria.

05.01.2022 Getting down to work... When the VVP team of Aggie and Ben get out in the field and start finding wildflowers, it’s a hard task getting them to stay on their fe...et or lift their eyes off the ground! This field visit was part of filming for a virtual field day we are bringing to you to showcase the grasslands of the Victorian Volcanic Plains ... stay tuned for next week and find out what made these two drop to the ground in excitement when the landholder said: so I found something I haven’t seen before you might be interested in... @ausgov @landcareaustralia @trustfornature @delwp_vic #passionatepeople #wildflowers #nativeflowers #australiannatives #grasslands #virtualfieldday
