Community Nursery Open Friday 6 January 2017
The Nursery will re-open on Friday 6 January 2017. Come and help the Nursery get off to a good start in 2017! Help needed with potting and weeding. Bring along some morning tea and enjoy the company of others. If you are still on holiday and doing planting around your place come and see what plants are available for sale - proceeds to the Education Centre.
If you are out and about keep an eye out for native orchids - we found eight different species on a recent walk in Fiordland. Here are photos of a couple - the black orchid, or potato orchid (Gastrodia) and the green hooded orchid (Pterostylus). If you see one and want to know what species send us a photograph (with something in it for scale if you can). Also keep an eye out for the cherry raiders - our tree has been completely stripped of cherries in the last 2 weeks!
Happy New Year!
Chris
