Community Nursery News February 2025
After a quiet start to 2025, the Nursery is back in full swing on a Friday morning! Today we continued the watering – an almost daily task at the moment. Thanks to those on the watering roster over the holidays, much appreciated. The weather has continued to be sunny, so watering is a big task – we hand water due to being on tank water and it takes about an hour and a half to water the entire nursery. Any willing helpers appreciated.
Other tasks today with our 15 volunteers have been potting, weeding and now seed collecting – starting with red tussocks, toe toe and saltmarsh ribbonwood. We are also preparing for another big project on our property – another pond!!
If you haven’t yet seen the Jo Ogier exhibition at the Eastern Southland Gallery in Gore, there is no time to lose – there will be a Floor talk by Jo on Sunday 16 February at 4pm, so maybe a good day to take in the exhibition and hear Jo. https://www.esgallery.co.nz/joogier
There is a marvellous opportunity to buy a wetland (with house attached!) – friends of ours are relocating to Christchurch and are selling their much loved property at Mabel Bush – see pics below and details here https://www.trademe.co.nz/link.aspx?i=12121&id=5146488854
