Community Nursery January 2023!

Wow, the New Year is already upon us!! Hope you have had a restful holiday. The Nursery will be open for volunteers next week on Friday 13 January 23. This week we are preparing for Brian’s month-long botanical trip to the Sub-antarctic Islands! Thanks to everyone who helped last year, we hope to see you again in 2023 and for newcomers, come join the party!

I hear rain outside – a very welcome relief from the watering we seem to have been doing all holidays – thanks to those who also helped out during this time. Things are growing prolifically – produce from the garden, with the odd attempt at pest control, weeds certainly! Seed collecting has already begun with fluffy Olearia and Clematis seed being collected at the moment.

Below are a few photos of spectacular places and plants seen over the last month. Note the magnificent beech mistletoes flowering at the moment.

See you soon.
