At VINC we are passionate about protecting and enhancing our local environment. Every year, we grow and supply thousands of locally produced indigenous plants, save threatened species, help to preserve biodiversity, and educate the community on the importance of using native species. Over 40 years, we have grown more than nine million indigenous plants. With your help, we can grow millions more. 

As a not-for-profit, we rely on the generosity of people like you to continue this vital work. Your donation will help us expand our seed orchards, improve our nursery facilities, and support the dedicated staff and volunteers who make it all possible. 

Donate today to support us in making a lasting impact. 

a pivotal moment for vinc

Parks Victoria has offered us a 21-year lease to double the size of our nursery at Yarra Bend, giving us the long-term security to plan boldly for the future. With this expansion, we can grow from 420,000 to 800,000 plants a year, dramatically scaling our contribution to habitat restoration across Melbourne and beyond.

To make it happen, we need to raise capital funding for new infrastructure: climate-controlled greenhouses, seed storage and propagation facilities, expanded community and volunteer spaces, and environmental upgrades including solar power and an electric delivery vehicle.

Interested in a larger gift or a funding partnership? We would love to talk. Please get in touch with our Chair, Caroline Sheehan, directly via chair@vinc.net.au
