Ricinocarpos pinifolius — Wedding Bush 🤍

Delicate, graceful and absolutely stunning, even the name Wedding Bush sounds elegant. It’s a beautiful addition to any garden, with its soft foliage and masses of white blooms.

We will have this stunner available in forestry tubes and 140mm pots this Friday from 9am–1pm.

Hope to see you there 🤍🌱

🌿 Do you want to help the environment and make a real difference locally? 🌿

This week an exciting crowdfunding campaign has been launched for a new Tiny Forest at Blacksmiths Public School.

Tiny forests, are fast growing, powerhouses that provide so many benefits to communities. They help cool surrounding areas, improve air quality, support wildlife and pollinators, increase biodiversity, reduce urban heat, and create greener, healthier spaces for future generations.

The goal is to raise $28,000 in 28 days to deliver the project, and every donation or share helps!

The Groundswell Collective

Today we’re incredibly excited to launch our biggest community campaign yet 🌱

We have just 28 days to crowdfund Blacksmiths next tiny forest - and we're ready to plant as soon as we hit our goal.

Blacksmiths has one of the lowest tree canopy coverage rates in Lake Macquarie. Together, we can help transform a hot, exposed part of the school into a thriving native forest filled with shade, biodiversity and opportunities for children to connect with nature.

Can you help us get there?

For native plants like the beautiful and useful tree 𝑨𝒍𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒂 𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒂 (Red Ash) or if you just want to pop in to see the lovely 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒔 🐶, we’ll be open from 9am till 1pm.

𝑨𝒍𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒂 𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒂 can be planted as a street tree, for front or back yard, or for revegetation projects - especially wetter areas. The leaves of Red Ash can be crushed and rubbed with water to make a lather - the tree is sometimes called Soap Tree. The leaves, bark, roots and wood have several medicinal uses.

And 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒔? She just 𝘓𝘖𝘝𝘌𝘚 a pat!! 🐶😍
