- Plants that grow naturally in Dandenong will need less care, attention and water in your garden than plants that come from elsewhere.
- We can make our contribution to fighting the Greenhouse Effect by planting more trees in parks and schools.
- More trees means more habitat for insects and birds. They also reduce runoff into creeks and absorb nutrients that would otherwise be washed away.
- Revegetation makes our city look even better!

Working bees are held regularly at the nursery: Thursday morning, 10am -1pm, and the last Sunday in the month, 9am-12pm.
The seed for our plants has been collected within Greater Dandenong. Then our members nurture the seeds in the greenhouse into ever bigger plants until they are ready for their new home.
Some of the tasks that you can help with are:
- Sowing seeds,
- Pricking out seedlings,
- Collecting material for cuttings,
- Taking cuttings,
- Potting up cuttings,
- Potting on plants, and
- Weeding.
