This weekend in the plant library
A couple of donated agave plants (I think), some silver spoon cuttings and a few bauhinia tree saplings. I grew these from seeds off a tree near Bulli train station. These trees have the most beautiful flowers in spring. They look like purple butterflies. You can grow these trees in large pots. Apparently you can even bonsai them! They like lots of sun.

Happy new year from the plant library! Here are the current pickings, includes some fresh cut mint and thyme, a few small pots of dichondra silver falls and some donated aloes. 💕🍃🪴

Today in the plant library: some gorgeous Cymbidium orchids which have been donated just now! And lots of succulent cuttings.
Sorry for another big gap between posts. The library is still here and I’m trying to make sure there is always at least a few plants or cuttings. But things have been a bit busy lately, hence the irregular posts!
Sorry for the big gap between posts 😞

Update: birds nest has been collected.
Some gems in the library at the moment thanks to some amazing donations. We have cuttings of a beautiful red flowering frangipani, a birds nest fern and what I believe are clivia plants (please correct me if I am wrong!). I am sure these beauties won’t last long!

When you take a plant or cutting, please research it as some are toxic to pets and children. Others can grow big or quickly and become a problem down the track.
