Summer Nursery Update

Peak summer is not an ideal time for planting, as hot, dry conditions can place significant stress on young plants and greatly reduce their chances of survival. Instead, this period is used to prepare for future planting seasons and ensure plants are well cared for until conditions are right.

At present, there are more than 600 plants growing in the nursery that will be held over summer and planted out in autumn. With the irrigation and automated watering systems now in place, the nursery is functioning well, allowing plants to stay healthy and established through the warmer months. This preparation sets the project up strongly for successful planting when cooler, wetter conditions return.
