Here at SOLN, we have been working a little project which we would like to share with you. The Shrub Club are a group of members who have been helping us to resurrect the nursery at SOLN’s Support Centre, community nursery. Every Wednesday morning, they have been meeting up and chipping away at this project, always accompanied by a coffee and a yarn.
Some weeks they propagate indigenous plants other weeks they embark on guided walks by some of our highly knowledgeable volunteers, such as Otway Herbs’ Ken Forrester and native grass guru Ian Clarke, collecting native seed for the nursery as they go.
The overall vision for the Shrub Club is to grow Indigenous plants to assist in revegetating the Southern Otways back to its pre-colonial state whilst creating a community hub for members to enjoy.
Many hands make light work and the Shrub Club are always looking for more helping hands, we meet up 9:00am every Wednesday at the SOLN Support Centre Nursery, at the end of Piggery Land, Apollo Bay. If you would like to get in touch or stay in the loop join our mailing list.
Southern Otway Landcare Network is supported by Landcare Victoria, Corangamite Catchment Management Authority, Colac Otway Shire and the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.
