Seeds to Success – VU Extra

Plants are the beautiful backdrop to almost every Tiktok, Insta and YouTube video out there. Develop your green thumb with the VU Extra Seeds to Success program.

Seeds to Success happens at the Iramoo Native Plant Nursery at VU's St Albans Campus.

Through this program you will:

• help produce native plants that will be used to restore remnant native grasslands in the Cairnlea area
• become familiar with a wide range of locally indigenous grassland plants
• learn techniques for native plant propagation
• assist with seed collection and management
• learn about the local remnant grasslands and their management
• interact with (and potentially lead) local community volunteers who are working towards grassland restoration.

Eligibility

To participate in Seeds to Success, you must be a student enrolled in a course of study at Victoria University.

You will need to complete a minimum of 20 hours of work in the program over either five whole days or eight half days throughout the year.

VU staff are also welcome to volunteer.
