Community Nursery
The Murray Bridge Community Nursery is an environmental initiative by The Rural City of Murray Bridge to grow the abundance of native plants that attract and provide habitat for birds, bees and insects, to support the continued health of our local environment and biodiversity.
Environmental volunteers collect seeds, plant, mulch, fertilise, water and nurture native plants , many of which are endemic to the local area, for use in our parks and gardens, greening and cooling our streetscapes.
When stocks allow, we also supply native plants to residents to help green local gardens.
Growing drought tolerant species that are later transferred out into community gardens and parklands helps protect the health of the Murray River through a reduced reliance on water.
