Vegepods at City Farm Nursery

We are  excited to welcome the addition of Vegepods to the City Farm Nursery! Vegepods make growing food as easy as it can be. They come equipped with a water-storing reservoir at the base and an adjustable shade (and possum) cover. The additional stands and trolleys make it easier to access and maintain your veggies. To welcome Vegepods to the nursery, we are running some exciting pre-Christmas specials. Until December 24th, Vegepods, stands and trolleys are discounted and our package deals including soil, plants, installation and more, are also discounted.

And with Christmas just a few weeks away the Nursery has been stocking up on ethical gifts. We have a great selection of books, permaculture calendars and gardening guides. NSCF organic cotton canvas carry bags and ONYA reusable produce bags are a great way to replace single-use plastic bags in 2018.

City Farm Nursery will be open as usual on Sunday 24th December and closed Monday 25th – Wednesday 3rd January. We will reopen in the New Year on Thursday 4th January and look forward to seeing you all then!

Practically anything can be made into a planter, or container garden.

Important factors to consider when choosing a container, or pot, are correct size, adequate drainage and good quality organic potting mix.

A good quality potting mix is essential for the health of plants in pots. Potting mixes are scientifically formulated with specific nutrients and water holding materials.

Make sure to use a specialty mix for plants such as native plants, succulents, and berries.
