Natives in a nutshell

Learn to love our native plants and practise the skills to grow them.

Experiences

Come and take a walk on the wild side and learn to love our natives.

Students experience what makes our native flora so special. They learn some tricks of the horticulture trade and try their hand at sowing, cutting and growing.

Students will head home with a box of treasures to raise at school and a can-do attitude that will enable them to practice and perfect these skills to build a forest of their own.
