National Wattle Day on 1 September
There is no one way and so many ways to celebrate National Wattle Day (1 September).
We are going to share ideas with you over the next month or you can see them all at once here
Plant a wattle
Wattles are fast-growing useful plants that return nitrogen to the soil and attract bees and birds to your garden.
- Visit your local nursery to buy a suitable wattle
- Plant a wattle in your garden, or wattles in a grove, or revegetate a landscape
- Plant a wattle to improve the nitrogen in the soil (wattles are legumes)
- Plant wattles to create a low-allergy garden (because wattles are insect-pollinated and not wind-pollinated)
- Attract birds and bees into your garden (they love the high-protein pollen and seed the can collect from wattles)
Here’s a Final WDA 2024 Flyer ‘Plant a pioneer wattle’ this spring 1 Sept. 2024 this spring to hand around.
