Renovation update

The greenhouses are up and we have our first plants in as we continue to fit out the interior. They are slightly larger than our previous houses and the extra capacity has us all eager to fill them to the brim.

Resurfacing works are expected to start in early July. The work will be done in three stages, with the bottom half of the site the first area to be resurfaced. The nursery will remain open with access within the nursery to be limited to maintain the safety of our customers. We will be operating with limited stock until the works are completed, though we hope to be ready for a bumper spring!

The renovation work has been scheduled to minimise disruption to nursery operations, but some disruption is inevitable. We apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to these transformative works being completed.

This stock list is accurate as of June 9, 2021. Please contact the nursery to confirm availability and numbers via:

Nursery Stock List June PDF, 263.21 KB

Plant of the Month

The plant of the month for June is Grevillea 'John Evans'. A compact small shrub growing to 1m high and 1m wide, with narrow green leaves and pink to red spider flowers in Spring. Grow in full sun to light shade in very well-drained soils. Great for bird attracting and habitat gardens; the spikey foliage provides shelter and protection for small birds in particular. Frost and drought tolerant. Prune once a year to further its naturally dense habit.

Potting Mix and Mulch

The nursery stocks native potting mix in 25 litre bags for $11 each. This potting mix is perfect to use for growing your native plants in pots. It also contains a slow release fertiliser and a re-wetting agent.

We also stock cypress mulch in 40L bags for $11 each. Mulch is great in suppressing weeds and helping retain soil moisture.
