Tamworth Landcare Nursery hours are 8.30am to 1pm, located at 300 Wallamore Rd Tamworth – volunteers from 8.30am, Monday,
Wednesday and Friday.

or on 0425 337 475.
The nursery team are producing an array of over 100 plants for growing in our region. These plants are grown from locally collected and propagated seed and are a variety of native and endemic species.
You will find plants for the garden, the paddock and your regeneration project right here in Tamworth.
Tamworth Regional Landcare Association (TRLA) wanted to grow endemic plants, in particular plants specific to local threatened ecological communities, to our region for group and project activities. Groups were collecting a variety of common and rare local seed and wanted a space in which to propagate and grow the seeds on a scale large enough for local distribution.
The nursery space provides opportunity for students and volunteers to learn and share skills and propagate plants used for local working
bees and maintained momentum for 10 years.

Sprouting Joy This Festive Season: Nursery News & Holiday Updates
As the weather warms up and Christmas approaches, the nursery has been reasonably quiet this past month. However, behind the scenes, we're
in full propagation mode, preparing to meet the demand for what we expect to be a very busy autumn season.
Over the Christmas period, Julie will be taking some well-earned leave, but Paul will still be on deck to keep things running smoothly. The
nursery will only be closed on Christmas Day and New Yearโs Day, so you can still pop in during the festive season.
Looking for a unique last-minute Christmas gift or tree? Weโve been selling small native Christmas trees, perfect for adding a touch of
nature to your celebrations. Theyโre available for just $25.00 each, but stock is limited, so donโt wait too long. Visit us this Friday or
Monday to grab yours before theyโre gone!
Weโd also like to take this opportunity to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our incredible volunteers. Your
dedication and hard work throughout the year make everything we do possible, and we are so grateful for your support.
From all of us at the nursery, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season. See you soon!

After years of advocacy, the NSW Government is finally reviewing the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998 โ and your
voice is urgently needed
to help protect our native wildlife from the impacts of free-roaming pet cats.
๐ฆ Why it matters:
This outdated law currently prevents local Councils from setting and enforcing cat containment policies, leaving cats to
roam, kill native wildlife, and spread diseases like toxoplasmosis. Itโs time for a law that reflects
modern expectations of responsible pet ownership.
