Members of Angair’s propagation team will help the Anglesea Primary School students replant some of its indigenous garden early this month. The propagators and their Year 6 helpers will supervise the planting, protecting and mulching of 600 plants and another 30 plants for a new bush food garden.
First planting day at Anglesea Primary School, 2011
The replanting has been necessary to ensure that the garden in front of the school is fire-wise. Some of the original front garden’s plants were not.
Angair’s association with the school began in 2009 when students learned how to grow plants. Then in May 2011, a community planting day saw more than 3000 plants planted at the new school site on Camp Rd.
