Our native plant nursery is where is all begins.

Kuranda Envirocare's Nursery is at the hub for our on ground activities.
Solely run by dedicated volunteers, it provides our revegetation projects with all the native indigenous rainforest plants they require.  

​The nursery also supports the community to plant native trees on their blocks and properties by providing local re-vegetation trees (tubes) for $3. You can get involved by volunteering or just drop by to take look at the range of beautiful native plants and native hybrids we have on offer for your garden. ​All plants are $3 or $5, depending on pot size.

Volunteer at the Nursery!

​The nursery operates completely on volunteer labour.
We collect seeds, apply appropriate treatment, sow seeds and pot out seedlings when they are ready.
​When the seedlings are large enough, our revegetation team plants them in the field during our regular tree plantings. There's plenty to learn and do, all while having good chat and a cuppa afterwards!
Experience & training

​No experience is necessary to volunteer for nursery or planting days. More experienced nursery volunteers will train you on the job. We also have an educational DVD on techniques on growing and planting natives. 

Trees for the Community 

The majority of plants we propagate are suitable for revegetation in the Kuranda area.
A number of the plants we propagate are suitable for residential blocks, especially for attracting butterflies and birds. We will exchange plants for seeds that we need, for your time as a volunteer in the nursery, or for your time on revegetation or other Envirocare volunteer activities.
