NATIVE trees and shrubs of local provinance were showcased on National Eucalypt Day last Saturday.
Inglewood Wildflowers’ Kathryn Gillett was part of Loddon celebrations at Inglewood’s Eucalyptus Distillery Museum that attracted visiting groups from Melbourne, Echuca and other parts of Victoria.
Kathryn has been propagating eucalypts and natives at her Inglewood property for two years but has worked in horticulture for almost three decades and is an agriculture teacher at Bendigo TAFE.
She was attracted to Inglewood and the golden triangle region for its capacity to grow natives.
“Eucalypts have so many uses - in printing, oils and more,” she said at her stall on Saturday.
