About us
At Dorrigo Community Nursery Inc, we aim to grow both our community, and our wide range of local plant species, for the health of our planet and future generations. Our not-for-profit association includes:
​
-
Dandarrga Landcare, including our Native Nursery
-
Dorrigo Seed Savers

Dorrigo Community Garden
Dandarrga is the Gumbaynggirr name for the Dorrigo Plateau, and means stringy bark tree. We acknowledge the Gumbaynggirr, the traditional land carers of this country.

Our Mission statement
We strive to be an inclusive, welcoming community, fostering respect, care, and clear communication. We aspire to connect people with nature, serve as a hub for projects and knowledge sharing, and build strong local and regional networks.
We celebrate the diversity of people, skills, and knowledge. We share locally grown produce and expertise in propagation, seed saving, and regenerative practices.

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.
