Our four Landcare nurseries have been buzzing with activity as our volunteers sow the seeds which will be destined to be planted out in autumn 2024.
Murrumbateman and Yass Landcare’s dedicated volunteers have been chipping away at the task over the last month. Carefully sowing, taging and watering in thousands of tubes..

Bowning Bookham Landcare’s Wattle Valley Nursery had a wonderful group of volunteers get stuck in and sow the 4000+ tubes in one morning.
You can see a short video of their sowing day Sowning Seeds For Our Future here.

The job doesn’t stop at the end of sowing. Over the coming months there are many tasks to be done from thinning out the growing seeds, weeding and in some cases resowing seeds that haven’t germinated. Then across summer it’s the regular watering and care taking of the plants to make sure that over 12000 ‘Climate Ready’ plants are set to be planted out in the autumn.
If you would be like to contribute to our growing and thriving landscape by tending to these plants over the coming months please email Sarah [email protected] who will put you in touch with your local nursery manager.
