Join us tomorrow, 2nd May if you are interested in joining a group to promote more verge trees around Geraldton.
I regularly shop at IGA Wonthella and I watched as verge tree have been planted and a lot of them have died. Some by vandalism, but most because they weren't watered. Geraldton's average rainfall to date? Over 100mm. Current 2023 rainfall to date? 7.4mm If we're going to plant trees, we're going to have to water them too.
Love this idea to beautify Geraldton’s suburbs to not only provide shade but to create wildlife corridors for native birds 👍👏🌞
Sunday: Open 9.00am -3.00pm
Great to see people again this year. Had a great turnout last week.
Today I will feature some of our plants.
1stly our passionfruit range: Tennis Ball Pink, Panama Gold and Hawaiian Gold. The 1st two varieties are extremely vigorous and huge. The Tennis Ball PInk’s flavour is always a winner for me.
Plants are approx, 1m high and $22 each.
We also have pineapple plants available. These are a year old and should flower and fruit over the next six months. I grow them in 20litre bags in the shadehouse and they produce surprisingly large pineapples. Which taste amazing compared to the shop bought ones. $27.50 each.
Hope to see you tomorrow.
