Our Green team Gardeners

In late November, the NPS Green Team planted some sunflower seeds by the fence in the Hawthorn Rd vegie garden. Less than a month later, some of the seeds have begun shooting and are now flourishing beautifully as baby Mammoth Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus). 

When fully grown, these sunflowers are expected to grow to two metres tall and have very large golden yellow heads up to 40cm in diameter.

We hope that they will provide our community with plenty of colour, bees and native birds, and something to talk about over the summer holidays. Enjoy!
