Today is National Threatened Species Day, a time to spotlight not just our beloved animals, but also our incredible native flora 🌿🌼
The Barb Martin Bushbank nursery is a great example of community conservation, working to help local plants, like the Critically Endangered crimson berry (Leptecophylla oxycedrus), thrive.
With its prickly foliage, delicate white flowers and bright red berries, it’s a unique part of our coastal landscape. After years of refining propagation techniques, our Bushbank team has successfully grown crimson berry and established a new protected colony at Cape Woolamai.
Add one of Victoria’s rarest plants to your garden today!
