Nursery Know How at the Uni

Trees In Newcastle aims to encourage the interests of the community in seed collection, propagation, planting and nurturing of local native species. We are keen to provide educational opportunities and assistance to support learning about the local environment.

At TIN’s nurseries there are many activities including ,seed processing, seed cleaning, seed sorting, seed storing, potting-up, watering, weeding, quality control of plant stock i.e. blocking up, removing dead material, trimming etc., loading and unloading nursery stock, assisting with plant orders, supporting propagation activities, potting on of plants, record keeping and labelling of plants, tool maintenance and library cataloguing.

It's a very social affair and not very physically demanding.
