Bush Tucker Plants
The flavours of the Australian bush are sure to add a unique edge to your cooking. The bonus of adding our native plants to your garden is the delight you will have from creating a haven for our native wildlife to visit. Ask us to SHARE our bush tucker recipes.
Permaculture Plants
Permaculture is a creative way we can live an abundant lifestyle whilst treading more lightly on the Earth. By cooperating with Nature and caring for the Earth and its people we can provide for our needs of food, shelter, financial and social structures and work together to create ecologically sound communities. Ask us about how to design with Nature to produce a sustainable, resilient and productive garden which will enrich lives.
Traditional Herbs
Herbs have been used throughout the centuries to promote health, accompany ceremonies and enhance our living environment. We stock a range of herbs used by herbalists, aromatherapists and dyers. Some you’ll recognise from your Granny’s garden and others you will never have heard of before.
Butterfly & beneficial bug attracting Plants
A good garden begins with rich healthy soil to produce strong nutritious plants. A flourishing garden is full of biodiversity and in balance. Using broad spectrum chemical sprays will quickly throw off the natural balance and lower the amount of visiting insect friends. Flowering plants will attract pollinators to your garden to ensure bountiful crops. Predator bugs which keep the pest insects in check can also be encouraged to thrive in your garden this way.
Fruit Trees
We stock a wide range of fruit and nut tree varieties suited to our South East Queensland subtropical climate. Our stock includes citrus, stone fruit, tropical fruits, berries and some uncommon types you may have never tried before.
Due to government regulations we don’t sell banana plants. You can purchase tissue cultured bananas from http://backyardbananas.com.au/
Veggies & Culinary Herbs
Let go of the struggle to keep your edible garden alive. Our herbs and veggies have the best chance to thrive. Grown locally in an organic medium from organic and/or open pollinated seeds and cuttings, they’re strengthened in the sun and ready to GROW. We only stock varieties which will do well in our subtropical climate and we will give you the best advice about where to plant and how to maintain your new babies.
Edible Water Plants
Ponds and water gardens are a great way to create a cool microclimate and attract natural pest predators, like frogs, to your garden. We stock a range of water plants to help you create frog habitat. Our extensive variety of edible water plants will add exotic flavours to your dishes.
