Community Plant Sale in Coburg North

Hi all,

Has been quite a while between events but we've made some major updates to our website and it's time to start things up again!

Echo Active is going to be running and promoting eco-conscious events over spring and summer and into the new year. Our first event for this restart is a community plant sale by Rain Moth Community Nursery based in North Coburg.

Rain Moth specialises in native plants, beneficial plants and veggies and are running a plant sale at Newlands Neighbourhood House this Sunday from 10am to 11:30am and they'd love your support.

The sale is a community event and will feature DJ Abantiades on the decks playing some low-key disco/funk/house/electronic tunes. There will also be a library and chill-out zone with some great books to explore. Newlands has a beautiful garden but there is space inside if wet.

Plant list
You can choose from a big range of tomatoes, capsicum, eggplants, zucchini, okra, pumpkin, watermelon and rockmelon as well as the following:

• Basil, fenugreek, Moldavian dragonhead and 10 different varieties of chillies, from mild to super spicy
• Perennials like artichoke, rhubarb, German chamomile and curry leaf plants
• Leeks, onions, lettuces, leafy greens, brassicas, beans, peas and plenty more

Attract butterflies, hoverflies and other beneficial insects into your patch by planting flowers. We'll have:

• Lots of sunflowers!
• Cosmos, aquilegia, poppies, carnations and zinnias
• Native flowers such as paper daisies and orchids

There will also be a great selection of indigenous plants available. Note that when planted in spring these plants will need supplementary watering over the summer:

• Groundcovers like saltbush, violets and clematis
• Kangaroo grass, dianella and lomandra
• Large quantities of flowers - common everlasting, Murnong, swamp daisy, native flax and showy isotome
• A selection of shrubs and trees

There will also be lots more available on the day. Be sure to bring cash as there are no card facilities. All plants are only a gold coin each.
