Agava removal and sour fig planting at Ryan Road Park


Sunday Sep 17, 2017 | 14:00-16:00

There is a small park next to the railway station in Rosebank that is overgrown with grass and in need of a clean-up and some fresh planting. We would like to plant locally indigenous plants in this park so as to support local populations of birds and other creatures, along with making the space more usable for people.

We have already made quite some progress over the last month or so but we are now taking on the agavas that are growing outside the fence. These huge, spikey, non-indigenous plants are blocking the view, making it difficult to access the park, and make cleaning impossible. We have a huge load of sour fig that has been donated and we need to be ready to plant them along the side. We made good progress last week with the agava cutting and removal, but will need to finish the job on Sunday the 17th so plant the vygies!

Come join us, even if you have little or no garden experience!
