    All about Native Grasses

    We’ve spent a few years (collectively, a life-time!) learning all about indigenous grasses through re-instating the critically endangered grasslands of Victoria.  As it works out, grasses are a hugely diverse, habitat-providing and exceptionally attractive non-invasive addition to your backyard! Come and meet some of the grasses we know and love, and take home a few species for your yard to boost biodiversity and aesthetic! We just know you will enjoy supporting the richness of native grasses as much as we do by the end of this workshop!
