Today is the final day of Nature Festival, and there’s still time to get out, explore and make the most of it.

Spend time in the sunshine, swap seeds, discover stories, spot wildlife, listen to live music, get creative or dive into conversations about our changing natural world.

Our SEED theme has been all about small beginnings, new connections and the possibilities that grow when we nurture them. Explore the program and make the most of our final day 🌱

During Nature Festival 2026, artist Louise Flaherty put pencil to paper to capture some of South Australia’s vulnerable plants, creating a series of delicate botanical drawings that shine a light on the species we could lose without protection.

Each plant has been selected by the South Australian Seed Conservation Centre, whose vital work helps safeguard threatened flora for future generations.

🌿 Learn more about the important work the South Australian Seed Conservation Centre tomorrow (Sunday 11 October) in the Adelaide Botanic Garden at The Journey of a Seed, exploring how seeds are collected and conserved to protect South Australia’s unique plant life.

🌱 You can also support their work by attending The Great Botanic Seed Swap and Share at the Adelaide Botanic Garden, with seed swapping, stalls, activities and more.

Inspired by seeds collected and researched from local bush gardens and native plant species indigenous to the region, Germination invites community members of all ages and abilities to participate in the design, creation, and installation of a permanent mosaic pathway.

Facilitated by Tutti artists in Nuriootpa, this workshop took place over the last few days, encouraging participants to create seed-inspired mosaic artworks while learning about local biodiversity, creativity, and connection to place.

Tonight, Germination will be unveiled with a community celebration featuring a digital projection artwork tracing the life cycle of a native plant, from flower, to fruit, to seed, and finally, germination and new growth.

📆 Friday 9 October, 6-8.30pm
📍 Tutti Arts, Nuriootpa
