Established 1998
During the 18th and 19th Centuries, forestry and farming eliminated the Turpentine-Ironbark Forests of the Inner West. The Rozelle Bay Community Native Nursery collects seeds and cuttings from the closest remaining bushland, to propagate and reintroduce species that would have been endemic (indigenous or local provenance) to the area.
These plants have demonstrated how well they have adapted to the extreme wet and dry weater in Sydney between 1998 and 2008. As you walk around Annandale's public spaces you may now notice: Acacia Pods | Seed Pods | Purple, Mauve, Pink Flowers | White and Cream Flowers | Green Flowers | Fungi | Banksia Marginata.
The reference list of Local Provenance Species, for the Inner West, has been expanded from a list compiled by Catherine Rowland to help reintroduce indigenous species into Sydney's Inner West: Large Trees (> 5m) | Small Trees (< 5m) | Shrubs (0.5 to 2m) | Grasses | Climbers | Herbs | Estuarine | Ferns | References | Bookshop
The Rozelle Bay Nursery does not sell plants and it is difficult to source local provenance plants. However, you can buy them from specialist nurseries including: Cornucopia Nursery, Marrickville Community Nursery and Strathfield Council Native Nursery.
