The Community Nursery is one of Sydney's leading nurseries for indigenous plants, supplying local provenance plants, and other native and exotic species that are ideally suited to the soils and climate of the eastern suburbs. Many of these local plants have been used by Aboriginal Australians as food and medicine for thousands of years. Please check our stock list to see our full range of plants currently available.
The nursery is also used regularly for school and community workshops. It is an important part of the Randwick Council Environmental and Sustainability education program.
Randwick City Council Community Nursery has opportunities for volunteers and work experience students to gain experience in wholesale nursery plant production.
The nursery trades as a wholesale production nursery, providing plants for Randwick City Council's needs, other local government and statutory authorities, landscapers, contractors, wholesale nurseries and members of the public. The nursery has been established for more than 50 years, and is one of the longest-running Council nurseries in Sydney.
