Indigenous Tubestock For Sale!

Untitled-2
Hi Everyone.
After a wonderful afternoon of music, food and shopping at Newlands Primary School Musical Market we still have a few plants for sale.
All of the plants are indigenous tubes from VINC.
We are selling them for $3.00 each or 4 for $10.00.
They are on my front porch and will be available for the next week or so.....
Please leave money under door or in letterbox if no one is home: 29 Peterson Ave North Coburg.
There is quite a selection and the plant descriptions are with the plants also.
Save yourself a trip to Fairfield and shop local!!!!
All the proceeds from the plant sales go towards our continuing indigenous revegetation of the school.
Cheers Mel.
