Frahns Farm Planting Festival 2022
Our Frahns Farm Planting Festival is back again in 2022, and will be our biggest event yet!
Join our community
We’re looking forward to spending a day outdoors with you, giving something back to nature and having fun whilst we’re at it.
Register a spot, plant your plants...
Bio·R, Landscape SA – Murraylands and Riverland and many enthusiastic volunteers (including you!), will be coming together over 6 days in mid-late June 2022, to plant habitat for wildlife as part of our exciting restoration initiative at Frahns Farm.
We can’t wait to be outside and get our hands in the dirt either!
Time: 8:45am – 4:00pm
Register here
More information to come... but for now...
Be sure to bring some sun, rain or wind protection (depending on the weather, perhaps all three!), and if you have them, some gloves, rubber boots and a hand mattock / trowel for planting.
Bio·R will also have merchandise available, including badges, puzzles, cards and KeepCups. Proceeds from these sales help with the costs of our revegetation work, so please consider taking a gift home with you to support our work for wildlife.
You’ll also get the opportunity to learn about how your efforts on the day will be directly helping local wildlife in the context of Adelaide’s surrounding ecology.
Meet like-minded people, get involved in some positive environmental action and have fun!
We can’t wait to see you there!
