The team have an interesting variety of half hour workshops and this Spring you will find great food and coffee down at the stage area. Anyone who has a couple of hours to volunteer working on the cake or info stall or who would bake a cake we would love to hear from you. 0409996423 #Plant Your Own Wildlife Habitat#

20.01.2022 It is just two weeks away from the Spring Plant Fair and there will be a huge variety of Plants and the team is getting plenty of Growers with a wide variety of Plants who are booked in already. This year we are asking Growers and Patrons to use recycled Plastic Bags as the Plant Fair team is working with "Waste Not Bellingen" to achieve a "Plastic Bag Free Plant Fair" So what exactly does that mean? It means NO New PLASTIC BAGS! There will be people on hand to assist with getting your plants from the stall to pick up points.

19.01.2022 Baby Plants from "Ezy Care Succulents" in readiness for the Autumn Plant Fair on the 9th March 2019.

17.01.2022 Gardeners will be looking to replace trees that were bombed by the summer storms and many folks will be at the Bec Autumn Plant Fair at Market Park to replenish flower beds and shrubs wiped out by the recent droughts. The whole motivation of holding the Autumn and Spring Plant Fair's is to get Plants in the Ground. The Fair has been run through voluntary effort for the past 29 years. Phone 0475743851 if you can bake a cake or work on the Info stall for a couple of hours.

09.01.2022 Our next Plant Fair is on the 10th March 2018 and our 86 Growers reported excellent trading at the Spring Plant Fair. We especially want to thank the Bellingen Scouts for working with patrons to get their Plants from the Plant Fair stalls to the pick up point. You were legends!

We want any of our Growers who may need special help with becoming #Plastic Bag Free# and we will provide that assistance at Spring Plant Fair 2017.

06.01.2022 Beautiful Bellingen Spring Plant Fair Saturday 9th September Imagine a day in early spring, the air is cool and the sun is shining, you’re in Bellingen’s market park beneath the canopy of 100 year old trees and you’re surrounded by a colourful sea of plants and fragrances of 70 plant nurseries and garden related stalls. That’s all about to unfold with the staging of the Spring Plant Fair on Saturday 9th September. Nurturing plants, whether for food, habitat, Landcare or just ...plain enjoyment is surely the panacea for the stresses of living in the 21st century. We all know how connecting with nature and gardening lift our spirits and there will be plenty of opportunities to buy plants for your backyard, socialise with like minded people, pick up useful information from experienced growers, or just have a relaxing time.

02.01.2022 - THE GREATER GLIDER - Is there anything cuter than this flying ball of fluffy adorableness? So incredibly disappointing that this amazingly unique animal is fa...cing extinction. It has been two years since the greater glider was listed as a threatened species under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988. However, a statutory required action statement, recovery plan and any legislative protection for the species is still non existent. Without the necessary protection, the greater glider is still suffering the immense impacts of logging operations across its range in Victoria. Timber harvesting operations have been proven to cause declines and localised extinctions for the greater glider and will continue to have these negative impacts on the species until protective measures are taken. Since the listing citizen scientists groups have detected and recorded over 200 greater gliders within logging coupes across Victoria. Heartbreakingly, many of these individuals will have since been lost due to government negligence. It's time to take action! Please contact the environment minister Lily D'Ambrosio MP and our Dan Andrews and tell them that this fluffy fauna deserves protection!

02.01.2022 Stop logging remaining Native Forest now!
