A group of green-thumbed students from Ayr State High School have been getting hands-on with native plants as part of their Certificate II in Production Horticulture studies.
The students recently visited the Lower Burdekin Landcare nursery, where they were guided by experienced volunteers through activities designed to deepen their understanding of local plant species and the vital role native vegetation plays in maintaining healthy ecosystems.
From identifying native flora to learning how these plants support biodiversity, the visit was a valuable opportunity to blend classroom learning with real-world experience.
Students also spent time at Home Hill State High School, where they practised practical horticultural techniques such as taking plant cuttings and preparing seedling trays—skills they’re eager to put to use in school gardens and agricultural plots.
Ayr High extended a warm thank you to Lower Burdekin Landcare for generously sharing their time and knowledge.
With experiences like these, the future of local horticulture looks bright!
