Wildplant Community Nursery
The Wildplant Community Nursery was established by the Central Coast Wildplant Rescue Service and the Community Environment Network. Construction of the new nursery was completed in mid 2009 at the Old Pioneer Dairy site at South Tacoma.
It has long been the hope of CEN to be able to provide access to the flora of the Central Coast Region to its members. While it has always been spoken of to use ‘local provenance’ plants in our gardens to encourage wildlife and promote sustainable development, it has been difficult to access these plants for the general public with very few nurseries actually supplying these species.
The purpose of the nursery is to promote and grow ‘local provenance’ native plants for use in our many projects such as:
The nursery is complimented by our Regional Seedbank which we have been building on for 3 years, collecting seed from our various projects and storing them for future use. Well, the future is here and we have begun planting seeds from over 100 different local species from various areas throughout the coast to make them readily available for our members.
