Growing Your Own: Propagating Natives from Seed and Direct Seeding Techniques

Are you a farmer or lifestyle block owner keen to take your land's future into your own hands? This workshop is designed for people who want to establish their own on-farm or backyard nursery, growing native plants from seed for revegetation, riparian planting and ecological restoration. This workshop will give you the practical knowledge to get started with confidence.

Joining us is Sandra Campbell, a South Otago farmer who has been doing exactly this. Sandra will share an honest account of her own nursery journey, what's worked, what hasn't, and the lessons learned along the way as well as direct seeding using a drone. Her down-to-earth perspective is the kind of knowledge that doesn't come from a textbook or Chat GPT!

This is as much about community as it is about propagation. It's a great opportunity to connect with like-minded people who share a passion for looking after their land and building something that will last well beyond the next season.

This workshop is ideal for you if you are:

A farmer or lifestyle block owner interested in revegetation or riparian restoration
Looking to establish your own nursery without a large budget
Wanting to learn from someone who's been through the trial and error
Keen to connect with others doing the same thing across the region

Come along, share a yarn, and leave with the knowledge and inspiration to grow something great.
