Candlebark Community Nursery

Help local plant and animals by volunteering at our indigenous nursery

We rely on volunteers to ensure our plant stock levels meet the requirements of local revegetation projects (especially council-led) and our local retail customers.

Our activities are many and varied! Volunteers can:

• collect seed and cuttings from local reserves (in summer)
• propagate plants via seed or cuttings
• help customers in the retail area
• transfer seedlings into tubes
• help maintain the nursery's gardens and facilities
• assist with our website (Wordpress) and publicity
• help with our presence at festivals
• and many more activities!

No experience is required, just a willingness to learn. We are a very friendly bunch but the nursery has taken a hammering over COVID lockdowns and we really need your help.

The nursery has operated since 1994 and has been instrumental in helping local people improve the natural environment, preserve local species of flora and fauna and encourage biodiversity. We sell low-cost plants so residents can increase local flora and fauna in their gardens.

We supply indigenous groundcovers, climbers, shrubs, grasses, trees and more for revegetation projects run by councils, Landcare groups etc.
