25.01.2022 The WCNN along with Weddin Landcare are holding two Weddin Wildflower walks Tuesday 29 September and Wednesday 30 September from 9am to 3pm. Numbers are strictly limited. RSVP to Melanie 0417 963 475 by Friday 25 September. The nursery has some lovely daisies for sale at the moment. These two are Rhodanthe chorocephala subsp. roses - Paper Daisy - grow 40cm high with white/pink flowers and Rhodanthe humboldtiana - Golden Cluster Everlasting- grows to 50cm high with heads of small bright yellow papery flowers. Both like well drained soil and sunny position. They are annuals so they will die off after shedding their seed. $4.00 a supertube

22.01.2022 October is Mental Health Month. The Flannel Flower - Actinotus helianthi - is the national symbol to promote mental health awareness in Australia. The Flannel Flower, as with all native Australian plants, needs to be adaptable and enduring; just as we need to develop resilience and the ability to adapt to change in order to maintain good mental health. (Ref: Mental Health Australia). Flannel Flowers are available for purchase at the nursery- though not flowering at the moment.

19.01.2022 The nursery does not have any Brundah Candy Mint Bush for sale at the moment but we have recently propagated cuttings. We have had a very successful germination of Casuarina cunninghamiana - River Oak so if you were looking to plant some of these you are most welcome to place an order.

18.01.2022 The nursery will be CLOSED over the festive break. Last day to purchase a plant for a Xmas gift will be Monday 21st December. We will reopen on Monday 4th January 2021. We wish everyone a happy and safe Christmas and New Year. 2020 has been a busy year for the nursery. We erected a new outdoor shade structure and our front garden is now taking shape with plantings to occur in the New Year. All the lovely rain has led to us being taken to capacity with orders through to Autum...n 2021. Yesterday the Deputy PM Michael McCormack visited us to inspect the installation of our solar system which we were able to obtain with a grant from his office. Eremophila polyclada x divaricata - Summertime Blue - 1.5m x 1.5m. Flowering summer/autumn. Frost and drought hardy. $7.00 a pot. Make a lovely gift! We also have a good supply of eucalypts and acacias which will be ready to plant early 2021. See more

17.01.2022 Two wonderful wild flower walks were held this week. It was great seeing everyone enjoying the flowers of our shire - some lovely Facebook posts by some of the participants. A big thank you to our Weddin Landcare coordinator Melanie and nursery volunteer Mikla, also to the Maslin family for hosting the walks on their property. Swainsonia procumbens - Broughton Pea as seen on the walk. An ascending or prostrate perennial forb, variable in habitat, 10 to 30 cm in height with blue to purple pea-like flowers. The nursery hopes to propagate this in the future.

11.01.2022 Today is Threatened Species Day . The nursery usually holds an event on this day to raise awareness of our Threatened Species but it has been put on hold for this year. Our Brundah Mint Bush is under threat in our shire from feral goats so we at the nursery are trying several things to protect it. One is by taking cuttings and propagating the bush so it can become part of your garden and therefore helping to preserve it.
