GumFest: Talks: Eucalypts - from seed to seed

Brisbane City Council

Growing Eucalypts from seed, seed harvesting and seed saving advice.

Australian Plant Communities - Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha

No plant brings Australia to mind more than the eucalypt. They support a huge range of wildlife, and their gumnuts are ornamental and fascinating. Join Peta Deacon from the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha Education Team and delve into the world of growing eucalypts from seed through to producing your own seed to save. After this talk and mini-workshop you will be equipped to collect, store and plant eucalypt seeds ready for the seed collecting season. Learn about collecting viable seed, seed storage, seed treatment to increase germination, creating environmental conditions that help germination, propagation and get plenty of tips for success!Check out some of our other Speakers! <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/d/australia--brisbane-city/gumfest-speakers/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a> Speakers Schedule: <ul><li>10:00am - 10:30am: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/523346843497" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Powerful Owl project</a> with Andrew Dinwoodie</li><li>10:45am - 11:15am: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/523344275817" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Koalas and Eucalypts</a> with Derek Johnson</li><li>11:30am - 12:15pm: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/523328889797" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Flying foxes - Nature’s pollinators</a> with Sue Morris</li><li>12:30pm - 1:00pm: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/523357736077" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Cultivating Gums in your Brisbane garden</a> with Rob Wilson</li><li>1:15pm - 1:45pm: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/gumfest-talks-dyeing-with-eucalypts-tickets-523320956067" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dyeing with Eucalypts</a> with Nat Billing</li></ul>Requirements: Please wear a hat and covered shoes; and bring a keep cup or water bottle.Please allow up to 30 minutes to get to the GumFest site once you reach the Botanic Gardens.
