Shift for garden plant sale
THE popular trolley plant sale run by the Friends of the Botanic Gardens every Wednesday is moving from Flecker Gardens – but just one street over.
Starting next Wednesday, July 24, the weekly plant sale will run from 8.30am to 11am in the Saltwater Lake area of Centenary Lakes on Greenslopes St, opposite Little St and Cominos House.
Beautiful creepers, shrubs, trees, and all sorts of tropical exotics, including rare plants, are for sale from $8.
Run by the Friends of Botanic Gardens Cairns (FOBG), all funds raised are given back to make the gardens an even better attraction for locals and visitors.
FOBG volunteer Lee Ross said all profits from the sales go to enhancing the botanic gardens.
“All funds raised from the plant and trolley sales go directly to the botanic gardens to purchase the latest offerings in the different collections grown there,” she said.
The FOBG trolley was originally outside the Friends House in Flecker Gardens.
Parking is on Greenslopes St, look for the green banner and signs, access via the path opposite Little St and Cominos House.
