Mossman Nursery 2

Did you know?

Douglas Shire Council’s Nursery has been operational for about 30 years. The majority of plants are grown from seeds that are collected locally to keep the genetics of the area intact wherever possible. Many staff carry bags in their pocket or car for seed collection, and there are also a number of dedicated volunteers that help in the nursery, who also assist with the provision of seed collections.

Work that the Nursery staff do:

  • Growing for re-vegetation and to restore habitat of degraded or weed infested lands
  • Grow to contract for other people’s projects
  • Works within Council for projects
  • Growing plants for Council gardens
  • Plants for ratepayers and the community
