The Royal Botanic Gardens of Sydney purchased some of our wildflower seed mixes and did a wonderful job preparing their space in order to sow our seeds.
You can learn more about the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney’s colourful wildflower gardens here: Field of Blooms - Gardening Australia (abc.net.au) and on the Royal Botanic Gardens website here.
