25.01.2022 What a beautiful Sunday morning. What could possibly make this Djilba/spring day any more perfect? A visit to your local, native nursery that is now open Sundays, of course! We are open today from 9am to 1pm and every other day of the week from 8am to 1pm

25.01.2022 Djeran is here! One of the six Noongar seasons, Djeran is represented by red flowers, cool nights and dewy mornings.

24.01.2022 It's a beautiful day and we are open for business With rain forecast for Monday, this is the perfect weekend to get your garden looking spot on for Xmas and to prepare your garden for the oncoming warmer months. We are fully stocked with Bailey's mulch, soil wetter, soil conditioner, and more water wise, native plants than you can poke a kangaroo paw at! Don't forget we are now open Sundays 9am to 1pm too

24.01.2022 What a great day it turned out to be, the weather only added to the fun A great big thank you to all our wonderful dedicated volunteers that came to help, in preparation and on the day Great work team

23.01.2022 Visiting some our plants that have been flourishing in their new homes, this garden has withstood our extreme weather in the last couple of years.

22.01.2022 NOONGAR BUSH MEDICINE/TUCKER PLANT OF THE MONTH (OCTOBER 2020) - COASTAL DAISYBUSH

22.01.2022 As we wrap things up on 2020, I'm sure we all feel a little more than just one year older. It has been a year of ups and downs that has shown some dark times, but also some pretty darn amazing times. LCN has said goodbye to some friends and welcomed many more. It has been heartwarming to watch our LCN family pull together with compassion and teamwork so that we have not only survived, but thrived. We end the year on a high note with exciting plans for the future. Thank you to all of our amazing volunteers whose dedication, passion and hard work not only keep LCN running as a native plant nursery, but as a community. As a celebration of our volunteers, here are some lovely messages that our team members have anonymously shared about one another.

22.01.2022 Our team of dedicated volunteers have been busy putting together all of the trays of mixed tube stock to give away to local schools and community groups. We've had an amazing response with several dozen applications and we have done our best to provide some plants to as many of you as possible with most having been picked up already. Thank you for all of your submissions. It was so heartwarming to read about the wonderful projects that aim to link our younger generation to nature. If you haven't received a response from me yet, please email me again at [email protected] - Jacquie (Nursery Manager)

Coastal sand dunes, granite outcrops, limestone areas. As well as making a great climbing tree for the kids, the possums absolutely love nesting and feeding from the Peppy leaves and the pollinators are all over the weeping flowers Small Pots $8.00 Large Pots $16.00 25litre Bags $45.00 Leschenault Community Nursery Inc See more

21.01.2022 What better way to celebrate the first day of Kambarang, Wildflower season (the season of birth) than to discover a small bird has built a nest amongst our Mother Stock plants? http://www.bom.gov.au/iwk/nyoongar/kambarang.shtml

20.01.2022 Some more snaps from our fabulous Eco Fair. What a great day it was. Thank you to everyone who made the day possible

19.01.2022 One of LCN's much loved volunteers, Ian Rawlings, sadly passed away this week. His bright smile, generous nature and dry wit will be sorely missed around the nursery. The LCN family send our heartfelt condolences to Ian's family and loved ones.

17.01.2022 Some of the local wildlife enjoying what the Leschenault Community Nursery has to offer. Can’t blame them, can you?

17.01.2022 Noolbengers are the sweetest thing! We're restoring the habitat of the tiny Honey Possum, or Noolbenger as they are known in some Noongar languages, by removi...ng stock, controlling feral rabbits and revegetating cleared land with proteaceous plant species, which is their preferred food. Right, now you’ve got the basics about the Honey Possum, onto the important stuff! DYK Honey Possums are the only truly nectivorous (nectar-eating) marsupial IN THE WORLD?! They can drink up to 7ml of the precious stuff per day. In perspective, that’s like us drinking 50 litres! The Honey Possum’s tail is prehensile meaning it can grasp branches which enables it to move nimbly through vegetation. Three cheers for the amazing Honey Possum! Photo by Katelyn Reynolds

17.01.2022 Callistemon viminals Wildfire One of the medium Bottlebrush’s we have at the moment, use in your native garden to attract birds and all our lovely insects I...deal as hedge or screening, in massed plantings or a feature tree. Prefers full sun but will tolerate dappled shade, can handle most soil types. Prune after flowering. Grows to 2.5m H x 2m W. Small Pots $8.00 @LCN See more

14.01.2022 Welcome to Birak, the season of red, heat and fire. https://www.ecu.edu.au//cultur/nyoongar-six-seasons/birak.

14.01.2022 Traditionally Djeran is karla (fire) season, and fire is the most useful and precious resource to the Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people learnt over thousand...s of years how to use fire effectively and safely. What was the lore of the land, became the lore of the people - having the responsibility of keeping the balance of all living things and enabling people to live sustainably for thousands of years. The Wadandi people use fire as a land management tool, with the practice of controlled burning known as fire stick farming. What to learn more? Undalup Association Inc., together with SWCC, are holding 3 fire management workshops in Wadandi Boodja during fire season: 17 May Rosa Glen: https://bit.ly/3tfJSg6 22 May Busselton: https://bit.ly/3mGhvW5 29 May Donnybrook: https://bit.ly/3e1qIEz

13.01.2022 Callistemon glaucus Birdak Albany Bottlebrush There is around 20 types of Bottlebrush in Australia, and only two are West Australian, Callistemon phonecious and the spectacular Callistemon glaucus. C glaucus can grow to 3m high, is a great choice for a hedge or screen, part of your Bee and bird friendly garden or as a small feature tree. C glaucus grows best in cool or temperate conditions, being native our South West of Western Australia. Very hardy, will handle most soil c...onditions, even winter wet feet, is frost tolerant and likes to have full sun, but can handle dappled shade. Prune after flowering to keep the desired shape and encourage thicker growth. Flowers can be sucked on for the sweet nectar or steeped to make a sweet tea. We have these evergreen true form Bottlebrush, ready to get into your or a loved ones garden Small Pots $8.00 @LCN See more

10.01.2022 Happy NAIDOC week! LCN exists on Noongar boodja of the Wardandi people. We acknowledge Noongar people as the traditional custodians of this land and pay our respects to Noongar elders, past present and future. LCN grows plants native to the South West region, this means that, primarily, the plants we grow, nurture and sell to you are Noongar plants. Many (if not most) have cultural uses. We are even lucky enough to have a 'Bush Tucker' section in our nursery. LCN are de...eply grateful for the cultural knowledge that has been shared to us by Noongar Elders about these amazing plants. This enables us to share this knowledge on, and help keep cultural connections alive. Always was, always will be. #NAIDOC2020 See more
