I love this bunnings, it's pretty local and they have a good large carpark with exposed and undercover parking. I also find the staff here to be extremely friendly and helpful as well as always willing to share their knowledge if you ask. I think the reason why I love this branch so much is that I always used to come here with my Dad, so I associate it with him and his DIY successes. Here they have a really good selection of chain which I often use as jewellery or in photo shoots. I love the tacky knick knack objects that are always stocked here too, for example in their gifts section they have oversized tennis balls and remote control cars, I also found a beautiful cherry blossom led light which I love and is displayed in my room.

But what I do know is that Sunhill Garden Center has a really great wide range of plants, from perennials and succulents to dwarf shrubs and citrus, which are all clearly labelled and well organised in the garden out the back. You can also pick up Oakdale Organics vegetable and herb seedlings starting from 3.99 each or 3 for 10, which seems to be a good deal. Inside you will find all sorts of gardening supplies and also plenty of gifts, such as potted plants, ornaments and various gardening accessories. And if you have a little one with you, then Sunhill has arranged for that too, with a small playground at the back overlooking the Apirana Reserve.
