Did you know there’s a seed library in Warralily?


Promoting local vegetation (edible, indigenous and decorative) the seed library is accessible from Monday to Friday at the new 皇冠crown在线登录 East Community Hub . The seed library system is very simple, you can “borrow” seeds from the library when you are ready to plant, at the end of the growing season save some seeds from the plants and return a portion of the seeds to the library for others to enjoy…. EASY!
This is just one of the projects the Warralily Community Garden Group have initiated for our community to enjoy. Check out their recent renovation of the Narana Aboriginal Cultural Centre!

BEFORE………………….. AFTER!



Narana’s bush tucker tent is now a thriving kitchen garden which is served in the Narana Café’s dishes. You can learn more about the native plants by visiting the garden – the group have made it easy with their educational signage depicting how each plant was utilised in aboriginal culture.
