Planting, growing & outdoor nursery workOur Feathers & Flora nursery raises important funds for the bird care through plant sales at the gate; online and at our annual sale.
Work can include: growing plants from seed; potting-up plants; weeding and tidying through the nursery; composting and bagging compost; splitting up plants such as flaxes and trimming foliage etc. You will not only be learning valuable skills from our resident horticultural expert, but through your efforts you will be helping us to 'Green Up' Wellington, and provide a source of food for the birdlife in our region. Check out Feathers & Flora for more information. |
