Seeding Our Future Propagation Workshop
About
Throughout 2024/25 Connecting Country is running the Seeding Our Future project which focuses on securing seed of local indigenous species for future restoration and to help protect locally rare and threatened species by building their populations.As part of the Seeding Our Future project, Connecting Country is teaming up with Newstead Natives Nursery to offer local community members an opportunity to learn propagation skills from expert nursery owner Frances Cincotta. Frances will talk us through the basics of, seed sowing, propagating cuttings and the division of plants for revegetation.
We will focus on a range of indigenous plants including grasses, sedges, riparian plants, locally rare species, and species that are a priority for Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation (DJAARA) to return to the landscape.
The workshop will also include a short presentation from DJAARA.
We will be getting our hands dirty so please wear appropriate clothing, shoes, hats and sunscreen.
