For a new project we have planned at the cemetery, we need Renga Renga Lily (Arthropdium) seeds. And lots of them ! Lots and lots ...
So we are asking if you would please check your gardens for this lovely native plant and cut the seed heads off for us. Now is the perfect time to collect as the seed heads are drying, and for us to put them to good use at the cemetery.
We'll be at the Shelter (in the centre of the cemetery) on Sunday 7th April, 10:00am - 12:00pm to receive the seeds. We've also left some buckets on the seats at the Shelter you can leave seed in if it's not convenient to come on Sunday morning (see photo).
We appreciate everyone's help to make the cemetery even prettier 🙂 🌿
