The day gave residents from the southern villages a chance to go shopping for plants to help rebuild their gardens impacted by the Black Summer Bushfires.

$10,000 in vouchers were distributed from FireAid 2020 and GlobalGiving appeals.

NativeGrace, Welby Garden Centre, Mt Murray Nursery and Wariapendi Native Nursery offered a variety of plants and gardening advice.

Each nursery also generously donated additional items in support.

Other highlights of the day included tasty treats on offer at a barbecue run by Bundanoon Lions Club, along with entertainment provided by Jess from The Vocal Muster and Marulan Castle Hire.

A spokesperson for Southern Highlands Foundation extended a big thank you to all who helped make the even a success.

"This event was an example of how community connects together helping each other to build goodwill during times of need and uncertainty," the spokesperson said.
