In 1998 Milton Rural Landcare was formed by an enthusiastic group of likeminded people who saw the need to produce local native plants for farms and gardens in the Milton-Ulladulla area.
Shoalhaven City Council in Ulladulla kindly let us have a small parcel of land with a modest building and Milton Rural Landcare was born. Plants were propagated and housed in polystyrene boxes on the ground. A back breaking job for the volunteers.
Over the years, boxes have been replaced with new 50mm tubes and trays, plants have been lifted off the ground onto tables, a new dry weather work area has been erected and a new larger shadehouse built. Decorative gardens are planted to welcome clients.
Plant material is sourced and grown from local provenance material and propagated by seed, cutting or division. Plants are then grown on in 50ml tubes. These tubes are used for revegetation projects by local Bushcare groups, Shoalhaven City Council projects, National Parks & Wildlife Service, Office of Environment and Heritage, Local Land Services, Shoalhaven Landcare, local schools, landscapers and home gardeners.
