The Growing Friends’ 2019 Autumn sale was a record breaker – 1,400 plants for sale and takings of $7942, all of which will go towards Friends’ projects.
Canberra’s native plant growers were queued up well before the barriers went down at 8:30. Many of them had read the sale lists closely and had a good idea of what they wanted. There were other hopefuls who were looking for ‘something that will grow in Canberra clay and not need watering’. There are such plants, but they all need watering until they are established.
