Our history
​
Dorrigo Community Nursery Inc was founded by Annie Stanton, and a small team of volunteers. Since then, we’ve propagated thousands of seeds, developed our own Seed Savers branch, and participated in Landcare initiatives. We encourage community members of all ages to join us as partners, sponsors, or volunteers. We hope you will join us in our vital work.
