Indigenous plant nurseries generously support affiliated programs in various local government areas by supplying locally native plants for distribution to residents. They may also assist residents at the nursery by suggesting suitable alternative plants if stock of a particular species is not available. Some nurseries have been active participants in research to increase knowledge about the interaction between native wildlife and indigenous plants.
Without their active participation and involvement we would not have such a successful program and we are most grateful.
