🌱 Happy National Wattle Day 🌱

The first of September not only signals Spring, but also marks National Wattle Day! Wattles (Acacia species) are a diverse group of plants, with over 1,000 described. Wattles are a strong Australian symbol, with the Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) represented in the national floral emblem.

There are several wattles that are locally native to Wagga, including the Showy Wattle (Acacia decora) that is regularly included as one of the seedlings in the One Tree For Me Giveaway!

To discover our more locally native wattles, visit the Native Plant Selection Guide: https://wagga.nsw.gov.au/the-council/environment/sustainability/native-plant-selection-guide

Planted in August 2025, our Tiny Forest has flourished over the past year and is thriving. Many of the plants have grown so well they're ready to have their guards removed, while a few need replacing to keep the forest healthy and growing strong.

We're inviting the community to help give the forest a little birthday tidy-up. Whether you're a regular volunteer or just curious to see how the forest is growing, we'd love to have you join us. When all the work is done morning tea will be provide.
