Today Native Plant Exchange was a massive success!

With over 60 people in attendance, and many species exchanged it was quite great to see so many native plant enthusiasts!

The Hermitage added to its ever growing biodiversity, and received more Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) to add to our Afforestation project!

Come out soon and see all the work being done to create such an interactive ecosystem.
