Well, that was some downpour!
Among the many events postponed as a result of last week’s rain was the Autumn Plant Sale at Noosa Botanic Gardens on Lake Macdonald Drive.
But thanks to some quick reorganisation, that’s now happening this Saturday 5 April, from 7am to midday instead.
You can get expert advice on what to plant to create a great native garden – and then to get what you need to make it.
The volunteer group Noosa Botanic Gardens Friends have been beavering away in their Propagation Shed for months, preparing a whole range of plants from seeds out of the Botanic Gardens themselves, so you’re not getting just any old plants – you’re getting true natives – even some that, while not indigenous to the area, are proven to thrive well here.
The plant range is enormous: old-fashioned, collectable, and both native and sun-hardy plants are for sale – also a great range of exotics, including indoor and shade loving plants, salvias and other pollinators.
The Autumn Plant Sale is regarded as a premier annual botanic event at the gardens, and is usually very busy. As a major fundraiser, all funds earned from the sale. go right back into the Gardens, to keep them looking great, and to make more plants for you to buy at the spring sale!
Noosa Botanic Gardens are located on Lake Macdonald Drive, about 4km from Cooroy centre.
