Nursery Growing Group
The Centennial Parklands Foundation funded the construction of a plant propagation and nursery facility which opened in September 2009.
In 2010–11, approximately 900 hours of work was delivered by the Growing Group volunteers!
The Growing Group volunteers focus on propagating and selling plant species found within the Parklands' Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub (ESBS) threatened species sites, and also the exotic species found growing within the Parklands' Horticultural displays.
Propagation of the ESBS species will increase community awareness of the Parklands threatened species areas, whilst the propagation of exotics for plant sales will increase community knowledge of the plants used within the Parklands horticultural precinct.
The Growing Group also hold plant sales during the year for the plants they propagate and money raised from the sales go directly back into the group to enhance facilities and help continue the great work.
