Grey Box Day Native Plant Sale
Put a piece of natural heritage in your backyard by ordering your plants today and collecting them on 3 May 2015. There is free entry to Belair National Park to collect your Grey Box Day seedlings and you can then stay and enjoy the events and activities as part of the park’s open day.
Grey Box Day aims to increase the extent of the nationally-endangered Grey Box Grassy Woodlands by putting local native plants back into home gardens. Traditionally, in South Australia, these woodlands extended from Sellicks Hill to Burnside, mainly along the Hills Face and Adelaide Plains. However since settlement its distribution has been reduced from approximately 20,000 hectares to less than 2,000 hectares with most of the remaining woodland threatened by weeds, introduced animals and development.
This successful native plant sale is now in its seventh year.
SEEDLING COST: $10 for a 6 pack or $30 for 20 native plants. CLICK HERE for more information.
