Our Wonderful Frog Bog
Candlebark frog finally croaks!
Our frog pond has been a number of months in the making – maybe up to a year, however, the results from the efforts of our volunteers are here for you to hear. Our frog seems to be very happy and we hope that he / she finds a friend soon!
Just newly created.
Growing nicely

Collecting Seed at Candlebark
Party Bags used for Collecting Seed!
At Candlebark Nursery, gauze party bags have a whole different function to normal. Rather than being used to contain lollies, we tie them onto flowering stock plants, wait for a couple of months and then collect the valuable seed which we can then use to propagate new plants. Maybe this is some thing you could do in your garden if you have a plant you are wanting to propagate. We have also used old stockings or tights for the same task but find the party bags are most effective.
Frog Pond Success
Our Frog Pond Grows Up!
Well, it has only taken 4 months for our beautiful indigenous plants to grow up around our frog pond and …. yes, we heard a frog croaking the other day!
Just newly created.
Four months later!
SEED CLEANING EVENING A BIG SUCCESS
First Seed Cleaning evening a big success.
The first of our seed cleaning nights on Monday 23rd January was a big success with 12 volunteers attending on a very warm evening. There was lots of cleaning, chatting and eating over the 3 hours that people were at Candlebark Nursery. A big thank you for all the help given to us. Our next evening is Tuesday February 21st. If you can join us to help with processing our collection of seed from 6pm through to about 8.30 – 9.00pm, please send us an email or leave a message on our phone.

Looking for a plant that looks spectacular and can cover a boring fenceline? Cassinia longifolia is one answer.
Cassinia longifolia – A great shrub for screening and looks spectacular when in flower.
Cassinia longifolia grows from 2 – 4 metres tall and 2 – 3 metres wide. It is fast growing, great for creating a screen, and copes with a bit of sun but will also grow well in the shade. It is a butterfly nectar provider and the flowers can be cut and dried. This shrub likes a good prune after flowering to maintain shape and prevent woodiness.
We have plenty of tubestock of this beautiful plant available at the nursery. Come in and check out what we have.
Beautiful flowers
Christmas present ideas
BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS PRESENTS THAT KEEP ON GIVING
Are you still rushing around looking for that perfect present? Why not consider a present that keeps on giving by buying one of our wonderful indigenous plant pots, or a beautiful plant voucher that can be used for up to 12 months.
Happy Christmas to all our supporters and customers who have visited us over the year.
Candlebark will be closed from December 23rd and re-open on Tuesday January 3rd.
Recycling Tubes
Do You Have Forestry Tubes Lying Around At Home?
Candlebark is keen to promote recycling of forestry tubes and so if you have some tubes that have collected in a corner of your garden and looking for a new home, we would love to help out.
Do drop into the nursery and ‘drop in’ your tubes … and maybe check out our beautiful plants that are waiting to go into gardens. We would also happy to recycle 15cm or 6 inch pots that you no longer need.
