🌺 UPDATE - SUNDAY SALE CANCELLED!!! 🌺

What a wonderful morning we had here at the nursery! It is so good to be back and to see all of the plants I have tended with love and care walking out the gate on their way to new homes :)

But unfortunately for those of you planning to visit tomorrow, that means there isn't enough left to open again this weekend, and I have had to cancel the Sunday sale. The tables are bare.

The next open day will be Saturday 2nd May 10am - 12pm. I would say Sunday 3rd as well, but I don't want to jump the gun! Let's see how stock levels go.

As I build up plant numbers, I will also open up online ordering for those of you unable to make the Saturday sales, but that is a work in progress, so stay tuned!

Hello Garden Friends!

After a long break from the nursery I am back at it, propagating and growing beautiful plants for your gardens. It's going to take a while to get back up to speed, so bear with me, but things are coming along nicely and it looks like I will be ready to reopen in 3-4 weeks time. Once I have a better idea of how things are going I will give you an exact date - but last weekend of March or the first weekend of April, something like that.

I am also propagating plants that will be available as smaller tubestock in bulk lots for those of you who are looking for baby plants to grow on either for your own gardens or to pot up and on-sell at markets or in retail spaces. There will be minimum order amounts (similar to other wholesalers), but it's a great way to source young perennials without travelling to the other side of the city. Exciting!

Stay tuned for further announcements! I've missed you all and can't wait to get back into it.

Come and join me on my next adventure! The more the merrier!

Come and join me on my next adventure! The more the merrier!

We have big dreams here at the Creswick Community Garden, and big dreams don’t come cheap.

You may have noticed the garden is having some work done. A bit of a makeover! But it’s not just cosmetic. Yes, it looks better, but it also needs to function better so we can grow more fresh produce for all of the amazing food relief programs run by the Neighbourhood Centre.

Everything we grow here is for the benefit of the community. But we need money to do that, and we all know how hard it is to compete for grants - and begging the government for support is exhausting.

So, what if we could raise the money ourselves – while providing the community with some fabulous (and affordable) plants at the same time.

Enter: our very own CNC Community Nursery.

Even better, we are also offering free training to volunteers. Of course we are! We need your help! But in return, you will be learning how to do all of this yourselves. Why not start your own backyard nursery and make some money on the side? I can show you how, I would love to!

We meet on Wednesdays 1pm-3pm to propagate, pot up and prep plants for sale. Come and get your hands dirty, have a laugh and be part of something that is going to make a real difference.

Let’s grow something wonderful together!

If you’d like to come and check it out, please message me here for more information or just wander in on any Wednesday between 1pm & 3pm and we can go from there.

See you soon!

🌺🌺🌺 Garden Lovers! The time has come ...

This is the last weekend for Wintersweet Nursery (before I take a nice long break).

I had planned on closing for good – but the uproar!!! The chorus of disappointment!!! 😄 I just can’t let you all down!

So, we take an extended break instead and change a few things. The nursery will open again in Autumn for a big extravaganza – but it won’t be a regular thing, just when I have enough to fill the greenhouse. Yay!

In the meantime, Creswick will come alive this weekend for the annual Garden Lovers’ Weekend with several wonderful gardens open to ‘delight and inspire’. You can buy tickets with maps at the Neighbourhood Centre.

Once you have visited some of these gardens you will of course be thoroughly inspired and will want to buy plants, so ...

Wintersweet Nursery will be open:

🌺Sat & Sun 8th & 9th November: 10am-12pm (later if needed)
🌺4 Curtis Street, Creswick

I suggest getting here as we open on Saturday if there is anything in particular you are after – and I am so sorry, but I just don’t have the time this week to update the website or take pre-orders.

🌿🌿 PLANT NUTRIENTS & DEFICIENCIES WORKSHOP 🌿🌿

Saturday 1st November, 10am -12pm
Creswick Community Garden (at the Neighbourhood Centre)

Cost: $15. Sign up at:
https://creswicknc.org/classes-workshops/in-the-garden

This workshop is all about learning how to "speak plant" and understanding what those yellowing leaves, misshapen fruit or stunted growth are actually telling us. We’ll dive into what’s really going on beneath the surface, how nutrients move through the soil and how plants use them to grow and thrive.

You’ll learn about macro and micro nutrients, the nitrogen cycle, and the role of microbes in making minerals plant-available. We’ll talk about why some plants turn purple or bronze in winter, the real cause of blossom end rot, and how pH affects nutrient uptake. It’s practical, hands-on knowledge that helps you read your garden like a pro and respond to what your plants actually need.

If you’ve ever looked at a struggling plant and wondered why, this workshop will give you the answers - and a whole new way of seeing your garden!

Hope to see you there,

Janie
