Weekly GroCentre Sessions

It’s Djilba “Season of Conception”. Staging out and planting while the soil is moist, re-potting, maintenance and clearing stock from the benches for the next season.

We run weekly sessions at our Ascot nursery to keep all the plants healthy, propagate seeds, maintain the racks and prepare for future plantings. Come along and help out, learn skills and contribute new ones. Get in touch if this sounds like something you’d like to do. No need to commit every week.

2026 Planting Dates

Here are our planned planting dates for this year, so far:

• Kuljak Island (Ascot) Wednesday 19 August

• Point Reserve Sunday 30 August

• Ashfield Flats (Hamilton St Ext) Wednesday 2 September

Additionally, we will be doing semi-regular Wednesday plantings in place of some of our regular nursery workdays. If you’d like to be kept up to date with those plantings and possible come along, you can subscribe to the “Midweek Nursery Volunteers” mailing list here
