The August Edition of Our Native Garden Nursery News! Potting Shed Welcome to the August edition of Our Native Garden Nursery News! What a cold, wet end to Winter it has been. On the plus side, our gardens have been getting plenty of water in preparation for Spring time flowering. With Spring just days away, now is a good time to be clearing your garden or yard of any storm debris, trimming off broken branches, and turning over garden beds. Any leaf litter that you might still have lying around can be composted and added as mulch back to your garden beds. Plus, it's a great time to prune while most plants are dormant, as cuts tend to heal faster than when the tree is actively growing. Potting shed progress Well despite being held up by the weather we're happy to say the roof for the potting shed has been completed. Here's some images below of hardworking construction team putting the final touches on the roof and the finished product. Well done and thanks again to all involved! Plant Profile: Austral Indigo (Indigofera australis) Austral Indigo, is a member of the Fabaceae family, and is an attractive ornamental shrub. With an open spreading habit, it grows up to 2m high x 2m wide, and produces sprays of vivid mauve-pink pea flowers from September to December. It prefers full sun to semi shade; dry, well-drained soils; and will tolerate a slight frost. Trim lightly after flowering to encourage a neat, compact growth habit. Tip pruning while young, will encourage a more rounded habit. Looks great mass planted and can also be grown as an understory shrub. It also provides food for caterpillars and nectar for butterflies. Traditionally, the root and leaves were pounded and added to water to kill or stun fish and eels. Both the leaves and stems were used for dye. A wide range of dye colours can be extracted from the plant depending on harvest time and weather conditions. If you're interested in finding out more about using the Indigofera australis for natural dyeing there is a great website here. If you feel inspired to add this to your garden, check out out latest Plant List to order.

Trialling a new Schools Plant Program: 'Sell 1 Plant, Get One Free For Your School' We are currently trialling an exciting new Schools Plant program, with Wodonga Senior Secondary College. For every one of Our Native Garden plants sold by the students, the nursery will give a plant for free to the school for their school yard or revegetation project. This program both educates and empowers students to play a key role in encouraging their local community to care for the environment by planting local native plants, while also encouraging them to get outdoors. At the moment the program is only in trial stage, however if it is something your school might be interested in, please email us at [email protected] and we'll contact you when the program is ready to roll out to more schools. North East School Environment Day Planting Workshop The recent Planting Workshop, facilitated by Anne Stelling, for the North East Schools Environment Day, was a huge success. Every year the Seed Environment Day seems to be increasing in popularity and book out quite early, and this year was no exception. After learning first about the concept of native and exotic plants/animals, the students then had the opportunity to get some hands on skill in potting native seedlings. And from the photos below it looks like a great time was had by all. If your school is interested in getting involved next year, check out the Seed website for more information and be sure to enrol early to avoid missing out.

  • Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion
    Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al.

The phytochemical components such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannin, phenols, and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in Indigofera australis leaves from Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, Nigeria were determined using standard methods. The antibacterial activities of the organic solvent extracts of the plant was determined by disc diffusion and broth dilution techniques against gram-positive bacteria strain (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative bacteria strain (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa).The results showed the concentration of the phytochemicals ( in mg/100g) to be 0.93±0.05, 0.82±0.05, 0.32±0.050, 0.54±0.00, 0.72±0.01, and 0.00 ± 0.001 for alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannin, phenols, and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) respectively. On the other hand, the results of the antimicrobial tests showed that the most susceptible organism to the organic extract among the test organisms was P. aeruginosa while the most resistant was E. coli. These results suggest that Indigofera australis is an ecofriendly bio poison and as such could be used in activities like fishing, if need be, rather than the common use of chemicals which normally turn out to pollute the environment.

  • Lose the Plot: Cost-Effective Survey of the Peak Range, Central Queensland
    Lose the plot: cost-effective survey of the Peak Range, central Queensland. Don W. Butlera and Rod J. Fensham Queensland Herbarium, Environmental Protection Agency, Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha Road, Toowong, QLD, 4066 AUSTRALIA. aCorresponding author, email: [email protected] Abstract: The Peak Range (22˚ 28’ S; 147˚ 53’ E) is an archipelago of rocky peaks set in grassy basalt rolling-plains, east of Clermont in central Queensland. This report describes the flora and vegetation based on surveys of 26 peaks. The survey recorded all plant species encountered on traverses of distinct habitat zones, which included the ‘matrix’ adjacent to each peak. The method involved effort comparable to a general flora survey but provided sufficient information to also describe floristic association among peaks, broad habitat types, and contrast vegetation on the peaks with the surrounding landscape matrix. The flora of the Peak Range includes at least 507 native vascular plant species, representing 84 plant families. Exotic species are relatively few, with 36 species recorded, but can be quite prominent in some situations. The most abundant exotic plants are the grass Melinis repens and the forb Bidens bipinnata. Plant distribution patterns among peaks suggest three primary groups related to position within the range and geology. The Peak Range makes a substantial contribution to the botanical diversity of its region and harbours several endemic plants among a flora clearly distinct from that of the surrounding terrain. The distinctiveness of the range’s flora is due to two habitat components: dry rainforest patches reliant upon fire protection afforded by cliffs and scree, and; rocky summits and hillsides supporting xeric shrublands.
