And this is certainly true of Easter at the Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens, where plants ranging from the very ancient to the very modern display imaginative and varied ways of rebirthing and regenerating, especially after catastrophes, such as bush fires.
You can learn more about these plants by joining the free monthly guided walk held on the first Sunday of the month.
The walk on April 5 will depart from the Visitor Centre at 11am, and there is no need to book.
The Gardens are continually regenerating and renewing but they always remain a magnificent place to reacquaint ourselves with the botanical riches of our region.
But before the walk on Sunday, please go along to the Gardens’ Giant Plant Sale and Easter Fair on April 4.
Plants on sale are all indigenous to the region and therefore well acclimatised and likely to flourish in urban gardens throughout the shire.
All the plants are propagated in the Gardens’ nursery and can be seen growing in the Gardens.
Thousands of plants will be discounted from 25 to 50 per cent, and the Monga waratah (Telopea mongaensis) will be among them for the first time.
The sale opens at 9am, so take a bag or box or even a trailer.
Cash is preferred, but cheques will be accepted and credit facilities will be available on sale day.
Staff and experienced volunteers will be ready to help you make a selection and answer any questions.
The Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens are on Deep Creek Dam Road, five kilometres south of Batemans Bay, off the Princes Highway.
