Our special 'Indigenous Plant Gurus' will be available during the day to answer any questions you may have regarding local native plants, what to grow where and identifying weed species.

Would you like to support nature in your local area? How about joining a Friends Group? Come along to our Autumn Festival to meet representatives of the Friends Groups of Knox to find a location in your area.

And, of course, there will be plenty of local native plants to choose from in our Nursery so that you can start planting in time for a spring flush of flowers.

As parking at the Nursery might be difficult on the day, we suggest you park at the Wally Tew Reserve (entrance in Glenfern Road) and walk through to the Nursery.
