Still Searching for Seed

Have you ever wondered what the weird bump on your bush was? Chances are it was the seed forming. Summer is the time for seed collecting, a time when an amazing variety of strategies for dispersal become apparent and another element of beauty in the bush becomes obvious.

On the 1^st and 15^th March seed searching sessions will be held around Coal Point under the guidance of Trish Barker from Trees In Newcastle. The outings run from about 9-11.30 am and are a great opportunity to expand your botany and see the bushland through seedy eyes. If you’d like to come along contact Suzanne through Progress email, facebook or phone.Some images of the beautiful local seeds have been captured by John Sharples recently and can be viewed on the website and facebook pages.
