Preparing for the coming summer; the igloo is washed down and shade drawn across the young plants!
Growing season
With the warm weather seedlings are tubed up and cuttings prepared.
Great Big Morning Tea
In May volunteers pause to share in this nation wide community service, with donations going towards Cancer Research.
Seed collected during the summer months needs to be cleaned and catalogued for the next sowing season.
Loading up
During the year thousands of healthy plants have gone to many different projects.
Planting time
With the autumn-winter rains comes planting time. Many happy customers come ready to collect their orders. Hundreds of our plants go to new homes: Bushland parks, Council areas, around schools, Scout and Guide halls and home gardens, all in the City of Whitehorse. They will look a lot greener in the coming years. What wonderful habitat for our local birds, animals, frogs and butterflies !
Autumn Sale Day
Sale Day 31 May 2014: A beautiful sunny day with customers pouring through the gate, picking up a basket and seeking out plants for their gardens. Volunteers happily mingled with the crowd.
Spring Festival
Every year in October Whitehorse Council holds a huge Spring Festival - a great place to promote our activities to the thousands of people who flock to this event.
Summer weather again.
The growing plants need lots of care and attention to be ready for the next planting season.
