Demonstration Garden Master Site Plan

In 2015, a plan was developed for demonstration gardens on the southern bank of Lake Tondoon. They would show how local native species could be used in the Gladstone Region, focusing on:

• Port Curtis plants in your own garden
• How to grow your own produce organically at home
• Research and development
• Pacific flora link garden
