Over 40 people braved the windy weather to plant 1500 wildflowers at Iramoo Wildflower reserve in Cairnlea earlier this month.
Local greenthumbs had the opportunity to partake in planting technique workshops to ensure wildflowers could thrive after they were put into the soil.
Victoria University research associate Dr Megan O’Shea said Iramoo reserve has quite a large area of serrated tussock, which is an invasive and hardy grass species.
“We’re just adding to the complexity of the system which means that there’s greater resources that support the plants and animals that should be out there,” Dr O’Shea said.
