Nursery Know How at TIN's Parry Street nursery

Have you ever wanted to know what makes a plant grow? Spending a bit of time at TIN's nursery will open your eyes and broaden your mind as to the many aspects of propagating the perfect plant.

TIN has two nurseries, the Volunteer & Education Centre is at Parry Street and there is a holding nursery is on Transgrid land next to the University. The plants grow well at both locations and we like to go out to the Uni once a  week to keep the weeds under control and give some additional attention to the plants.

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.

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.
