I buy my soil, fertilizers, potting mix and pots here. For a good selection of these and at reasonable prices, you need to travel. Travel here! I can't say I can give this nursery 4-5 stars, as the death of four plants out of my several potted plants at home and several harmless (but ugly looking) spiders greeted my hand whilst picking pots, prejudiced my review. However, a few things stand out for me about this place. It has a diverse selection of plants, accessories, tools and ornaments housed in a large and expansive facility. This is, I believe, is the reference to their "power". Also, if you go there often enough then being "a garden lover" yields you discounts for future purchases. So this place is like the inner-west oasis for gardener and plant lovers. I discovered this place many years ago when I decided to desconstruct my unloved garden where I once lived in Croydon, to restore it (or a perfect facsimile of it) to its "federation" glory. I'll spare you the gory gardening details, but I'll share with you my astonishment at discovering this gardening facility. It provided me with all my gravel needs, bark/off cuts, soil, paving/bricks, seeds, herbs, native flowers and plants, roses, shrubbery and it even rewarded me by encouraging me to return for future discounts arising from those purchases. If you love paper, then this place is ideal for all your gardening reference needs.
It's perfect for the family, with an aviary, cafe and a selection of items to buy for furnishing your indoor/outdoor living.
Travel here by car, but it's worth the trip. If you're buying plants then you can excuse the carbon impact by offsetting it against the purchases you made (*smile*). read more
