Community planting days are a great chance to head out to a beautiful location, get your hands dirty and enjoy a morning in the fresh air. You will see first hand where plants from the nursery end up and help to restore our native biodiversity & mitigate climate change, one plant at a time.
Absolutely everyone is welcome, and no experience is required as our core volunteers will show you step by step how to plant a tree to ensure each plant has the best chance of survival in a non-garden setting.
Planting days are a great way to take tangible action for our local environment, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.
WHAT TO BRING: Gardening gloves, sturdy footwear, water, sunscreen & a hat.
All planting days are drop-in style.
