Urban Wildlife Gardens is a community engagement program providing a resource and service for urban landowners wishing to create native gardens that will increase biodiversity values on their property, promote enjoyment, awareness, and provide opportunities for citizen science monitoring.
Coolum native nursey is a valued partner of UWG. Many of our members have sourced their 4 membership plants from here.
Don’t forget to LIKE our UWG Facebook page. You will receive a regular steam of current posts of interest to Noosa’s urban wildlife gardeners. These are almost always LOCAL but occasionally I share ones of general interest.
With the reopening of Fairhill Native Botanic gardens and Noosa District Landcare’s new Hinter Hub it’s time to update the ‘Where to Buy Native Plants Page’.
Noosa’s Native Plants website has been re-built with the support of a Noosa Council Community Environment grant. The website is an important resource used frequently and freely by members of the public and NRM practitioners throughout South East Qld.
The Noosa Parks Association has a Botany group that meets at the Environment centre on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 2pm. There is a discussion about local plants and talks presented by members and guests. The level of knowledge in the group is extremely high and they are happy to share their passion. They also have walks on the last Sunday of the month. Contact Joan Heavey ph. 0412350749 for more information.
