Noosa Botanic Garden Friends and the Noosa Men’s Shed are happy the State Government election has co-incided with their November plant sale on 25 November at the Noosa District State High School which is also a major polling booth venue.
“Now with Saturday 25th also being election day, voters attending this booth will be able to also purchase plants to refresh their gardens for summer or perhaps as Christmas gifts’” organiser Jill Brownlee said.
Local bromeliad grower John Phillips will be assisting the Noosa Men’s Shed by contributing some of his fabulous plants to the fund-raiser.
Over the past two years the Noosa Botanic Garden Friends have had a supportive relationship with the Noosa District State High School agricultural unit, which has provided their shadehouse and seed-raising facilities, while the Botanic Garden volunteers raised sufficient funds to build their own propagation shed at the Noosa Botanic Garden in 2018.
The plant sale is from 9am to noon at the school farm in Tulip Street, Cooroy.
