Residents in the Alexandrina Council area have a unique opportunity to enhance their gardens and contribute to local biodiversity, all for just $10. As part of the Alexandrina Greening and Wildlife Project, the council is offering native plant packs containing 10 local species, grown at the Alexandrina Community Nursery.

This initiative aims to promote environmental stewardship and support local ecosystems. It allows residents to purchase a selection of native plants that are perfectly suited to the region. These plants not only beautify gardens but also provide crucial habitats and food sources for local wildlife, playing a vital role in preserving the area's natural heritage, according to the council.

The council has thanked the dedicated volunteers at the Alexandrina Community Nursery, whose hard work in propagating and nurturing these seedlings has made this offer possible. It says their efforts ensure that the plants are well-prepared to thrive in local gardens, enhancing the local environment for years to come.

Residents can collect their plant packs on Saturday 7 September from 10am to 12pm at the Alexandrina Community Nursery on Kessell Road, Goolwa. The council says it’s a great opportunity to meet like-minded neighbors and learn more about local plant species.

To order a native plant pack, view the list of available plant species, or learn more about the Alexandrina Greening and Wildlife Project, visit the Second Nature website. There is a limit of one pack per household.

This project is a collaboration between Alexandrina Council and Second Nature, with funding provided by Alexandrina Council. By participating, residents not only get to enjoy the beauty of native plants in their own gardens but also contribute to the broader effort of preserving and enhancing local biodiversity.
