For those of you who live within striking distance of Woorndoo, that we plan to get together next Sunday (31 March) to field-collect seed from a few of the late species (e.g. Lemon Beauty-heads; Blue Devil; Prickfoot), prepare the seed production area for the coming growing season and do some maintenance around the nursery in readiness for our next experimental planting in late May.
There are no fixed times - we will be available to greet volunteers and organise tasks from around 9:30 and continue into the afternoon. If you are travelling some distance, you will be most welcome at any time during the day. BYO lunch. We will provide light refreshments.
