Where Seeds Take Root: Inside the Mount Lofty Botanic Garden Nursery

Discover the journey from seed to thriving plant in this special behind-the-seeds tour of the Mount Lofty Botanic Garden Nursery!

Join Matt Coulter, Senior Horticulture Curator, for an exclusive tour of the nursery.

See how  the nursery works to cultivate new plant material and learn the specialised techniques used to nurture plants from their earliest stages of growth. 

Enjoy being guided through a hands-on propagation activity by expert Matt, where you'll put your newfound knowledge into practice and grow your own plant to take home. 

This is your opportunity to get a rare glimpse into the nursery where thousands of plants are propagated and grown for all three Botanic Gardens - Adelaide, Mount Lofty and Wittunga. Suitable for gardeners, plant lovers and curious minds alike.  

Please note this workshop is intended for adults; we recommend it is suitable for ages 16 and up when accompanied by a supervising adult.
