The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being. Being in isolation at home has been a mixed blessing.

  • Wednesday Walk in Monga Forest – Loop Off Reidsdale Road – 4 March 2009
    Wednesday Walk in Monga Forest – Loop off Reidsdale Road – 4 March 2009 We left cars at both ends of this loop (shown on the 1:25,000 Monga map) which is on the southern side of Reidsdale Road. We started at the top, ie the western end, and were in tall forest with a moist understorey of an interesting array of plants including many tree ferns (Dicksonia antarctica and Cyathea australis), Goodenia ovata, Persoonia linearis, Platysace lanceolata, Coprosma quadrifida, Leucopogon lanceolatus. The first part of the track was easy to follow but the second part was overgrown and covered in debris – easily missed.

News from the Nursery We are madly propagating at the moment, with many thousands of new cuttings putting their roots out and seedlings popping their heads up above the propagating mix. It is always an exciting time, as we experiment with seed from new species – sometimes they work, and sometimes we understand why we’ve never grown them before... New plants should start being put out into the sales area soon – fresh-faced little things ready to pop into the ground! We have recently purchased a further block of land from the ex-neighbours Jubilee Nursery, now sadly closed, that will give us a lot more flexibility and the ability to grow and store more plants. As mentioned last newsletter we have done some major revamping in the garden. A lot of work by all the staff has led to a much more open garden with a lovely Westringia brevifolia hedge (well, it will be a hedge when it grows a bit), another Micrantheum hexandrum Cream Cascade hedge-to-be, lots of Correas, Lomatias and Baueras. Where we sell a few forms of a particular species we have tried to plant examples of each so that we can show you what they are like.

  • Report on Visit to Lyrebird Lane Quite a Crowd Travelled to Lyrebird Lane Little Forest, to Enjoy the Extensive Garden of Catriona and Phil
    Report on visit to Lyrebird Lane Quite a crowd travelled to Lyrebird Lane Little Forest, to enjoy the extensive garden of Catriona and Phil. As leaders of the Petrophile and Isopogon Study Group, they share a keen interest in domesticating these members of the Proteaceae family. Phil has spent some years perfecting a process of grafting the difficult to grow but horticulturally desirable Western Australian species onto more reliable Eastern states rootstock. From this work he has ventured to graft many difficult to grow plants within the Proteaceae family, including Banksia, Dryandra, Grevillea and Hakea species onto stocks which not only survive, but thrive in his Phil and Catriona ponder a garden conditions. (Phil has kindly supplied an extensive list difficult question during their of the successful grafts in his garden, which follows this opening comments at the last report) meeting Catriona and Phil’s property is located on the edge of the escarpment overlooking Lake Conjola and Milton at an elevation of 350m, just below the Little Forest Plateau area of the Morton National Park, about ten kilometres from the sea, and is a garden set on the rich soils of former rainforest pockets, comprising two hectares of volcanic soil known as Milton monzonite. Whilst we marvelled at the plants and the almost perfect maintenance, both Catriona and Phil were quick to point out aspects which they struggled with. First of course, as the soil retains so much moisture, many plants simply grow too quickly, then being top heavy, are affected negatively by the strong westerly winds which flow down from the nearby escarpment.

  • Stormwater Connections to Natural Waterways Rouse Hill Development Area
    Stormwater connections to natural waterways Rouse Hill Development Area Overview What This guide explains what you need to do when building a stormwater connection into Sydney Water’s natural open channel waterways in the Rouse Hill Development Area (RHDA). We allow stormwater connections that ensure: stable transition from a constructed drainage system to the natural waterway sustainable water quality management restoration of vegetation following construction. Who This guide applies to owners and developers proposing to build a stormwater pipe connecting to a waterway owned or managed by Sydney Water in the RHDA. This applies to connection proposals for residential, commercial, industrial and other government agencies (e.g. Roads and Maritime Services) developments. Why Construction of stormwater connections to natural waterways affects the waterway and the riparian corridor. This guide ensures that owners and developers design and construct stormwater connections to a safe and sustainable standard by: minimising the number of uncontrolled stormwater discharges ensuring new stormwater connections cause minimal environmental impact to the waterway and its water quality restoring and maintaining disturbed waterfront and riparian vegetation following construction activities.

  • NLE Leptospermum Forest: Coastal Facies
    Vegetation Condition Benchmarks version 2 Non-Eucalypt Forest and Woodland NLE Leptospermum forest: coastal facies Community Description: Leptospermum forest is dominated by one or more of Leptospermum lanigerum, L. scoparium, L. glaucescens or L. nitidum (5 – 10 m) with semi-closed or closed canopies. Mid and ground layers may be sparsely shrubby and sedgy, or the ground may be bare or covered by deep litter. The coastal facies of NLE has L. glaucescens and sometimes L. scoparium in the canopy and may be diverse and uneven in height where it has suffered patchy effects of fire or windthrow. A minor facies dominated by Leptospermum lanigerum and Acacia melanoxylon in coastal swamps is included. This benchmark is one of 2 benchmarks available to assess the condition of NLE.
