What plants would grow well in your garden?
If that’s a question you can’t answer, but you want to, take a trip down to Noosa Botanic Gardens at Lake Macdonald on Saturday 29 March, to find out.
That’s the day Noosa Botanic Gardens Friends volunteer group holds its annual massive Autumn Plant Sale – and that’s the day, between 7am and midday, when 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 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.
This sale is regarded as a premier annual botanic event, and will be busy. And the best thing is that 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.
