This week we bid goodbye to Riverside Nursery Retail Manager, Derek Povel who leaves us to focus on his own horticultural interests. He is succeeded by Mel Pickering who is our new Retail Manager.
Grattan Smith, Chair of Tulgeen Group’s Board of Directors paid tribute to Derek’s tenacity and vision for Riverside Nursery and welcomed Mel into her new role. Derek in turn acknowledged his team of Tim, Daniel, Sue and Mel and the supported employee team comprising Ross, Annie, Stephen, Bradley, Graham, Joel, Michelle, Shannon and regular volunteers Laurie and Jordan. Derek also made it very clear that he was the champion and driver of the vision for Riverside Nursery but it was a collective vision.
Derek will return to Riverside Nursery after a well deserved break to project manager the building of the Taronga Community Garden and Hub and a new work space for the Bega Valley Work Crew. This is an exciting new project expected to commence before the end of the year so watch this space for updates.

Dear customers and supporters,
Sincere apologies for our delayed opening time on Sunday, 4 October. We realise that this caused inconvenience for several customers.
The clocks went forward on Saturday night for some but not for all!! An honest mistake which we will ensure does not happen again. Please give us another chance.
The team at Riverside Nursery. xx

Spring is well and truly in the air here at Riverside Nursery. We have fresh plants coming in weekly and as quickly as they come in they seem to be walking out the gate. Lots of beautiful flowering natives and ornamentals. The heady smell of Boronia, the prolific flowering Micromyrtus and the abundance of colour in the annual display make visiting (and working at) the nursery a joy.
This weekend at the Bega Showgrounds is the South Coast Field Day. Tulgeen and Riverside Nursery are sponsors of this local biennial sustainable living event. Dan and Sue will be at a Riverside Nursery stall. Our stall will be doing a bit of cross promotion for all of our Disability Enterprises and Art in the Garage. Pop down and say hello, it is only $10 entry and there is always loads of interesting talks, exhibits and demonstrations to keep you interested, as well as delicious food available.
Happy Spring days to us all. May your soil be fertile and your garden flourishing and if it isn’t come and talk to us, we will get you heading in the right direction.
