Yass Landcare nursery volunteers were hard at work on Saturday 12th November sowing native seed for plants on our Climate Ready plant list. All tasks are important when working in the nursery from making up tubestock trays, to sowing seed into the appropriate seed base, and cleaning out pots where previous sowings were unsuccessful. Many hands make light work so if you are interested in assisting the Yass Landcare nursery team we are meeting again on Saturday 19 November from 9.30 to noon behind the Yass Community Centre 1428 Yass Valley Way.

The nursery volunteers are also preparing for a plant sale on Saturday 26 November from 9.30 to noon, a plant list with photos will be provided in later posts.
