IndigiGrow ‘Caring for Country’ Launch Event

IndigiGrow is launching its “Caring for Country” program this month. This exciting initiative is focused on increasing biodiversity in an accessible way and IndigiGrow is taking a large step forward by offering all native plants at wholesale pricing to the broader public, for the foreseeable future. 

To kick off the initiative, IndigiGrow is hosting a launch weekend at their La Perouse nursery, on Saturday, August 17 and Sunday, August 18. Bring the whole family along to to purchase native plants at wholesale prices, experience a Welcome to Country (Saturday) and attend free talks and workshops. 

Supporting IndigiGrow’s “Caring for Country” launch will be Planet Ark, who will appear on Saturday 17 August to share information and give away merchandise. 

The wholesale prices will be across all the native potted plants and there will be an exclusive “Edible Native plant in Ceramic Pot” section on offer as a pilot project to reduce plastic pots used in the horticultural industry.
