Great service, easy to find what I need at an affordable price…read more Staff are friendly, store easy to access.

This is simply a great grain store, tucked away behind a group of shops just off Payneham Road in…read morethe burbs - it'd be right at home in a small country town though. Service with a smile, they're always happy to help people get the right products for their needs, carrying stock out to your car, etc. They do their own blend of seed and grain for chooks (love my chooks - four fresh eggs a day - way more than we can use but they're such good food scrap converters, too :) ) and if you find your birds are leaving a particular seed they'll make up a batch without it - happily. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them, and I've always found the product we need there. Compared to the prices in pet stores, supermarkets, etc, Keelans is an absolute bargain, too. Recommended.

I only really popped into Bennett's in order to buy a bit of extra clay for my sculpture class,…read morehowever, I really liked the place. They have terracotta pots of all shapes and sizes, as well as stoneware and building products, such as glazed bricks and tiles. It is a bit of a maze when you first enter as the stock room isn't really manned. This is because Bennett's are primarily manufacturers (which means everything is really cheap) and when I was there I had to go and hoy a dude driving a fork lift full of terracotta potts to get served. But that's kinda cool in itself. Oh and did I mention they also sell, clay by the bag, which is pretty cool, and hard to find, and also the reason why I went there in the first place.

I recently purchased some hanging pots from Bennett's after seeing their products online…read more They organised the delivery interstate and the pots arrived without an issue. They are the most beautiful terracotta hanging baskets. I have potted them up and hung them and they look fabulous. I would highly recommend these pots to anyone who loves terracotta. I only wish they are more available on the east coast of NSW.

When it is warm weather I am easily drawn to gardening. I guess most of us are. I start thinking…read moreabout starting a veggie patch and plating flowers to enjoy some colour when I am outdoors. It's also great to know where to go to get variety and quality at a good price. Gardening can become expensive. I drove past this nursery for many years but I never stopped in. Actually, when you do drive past you do not appreciate how big this place actually is. It's deceiving from the front. This Nursery has such a large variety of plants and gardening materials available. You will find everything you need here. Wether it is a gardening pot, tools, soil, statues, etc... They actually mix and make their own brand of soil. I got a pack and it is great! One other thing that I love about this place is the Cactus green house! So awesome! There are not many nurseries with that much variety. Staff here are great and happy to help out with enquires. Be sure to let them know if you need advice with your garden. Only negative was the entry and exit point was a little confusing. Entry via carpark and exit at the counter inside, walk around on the street to enter back into the carpark. Meh... it's about the gardening and customer services for me!

Heynes is certainly one of my favourite plant nurseries I've had the pleasure of sauntering around…read more Their enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff have cheerily assisted me with everything from identifying a tree in my new front yard, to diagnosing a sick plant, to helping me find a gift for a friend. Their items can be pricey, but the plant quality is exceptional compared to cheaper items from Bunnings or Masters. Every plant I have purchased here for my garden has thrived (with one or two exceptions where it was more a case of 'gardener error' on my part). Not only have my annual seedlings done well, many have self-seeded and continued to thrive for years past their expected life-span. For service and quality that is above and beyond, visit Heyne's, one of the longest-running nurseries in Australia.

Newman's Nursery is set in the Foothills of the Adelaide hills in the North East. There is one word…read morefor it - Beautiful. Their setting is lush, green and beautifully landscaped. I was coming here when I was little and it was like being let loose in a secret garden. We would always end up playing in the cubby houses and running around the little paths into different areas of flora. You genuinely forget that this is a place of business, it is actually somewhere you visit with your mum, sister, nanna or girlfriends for a gorgeous tea, coffee or sunday breakfast in their 'Tapioca Cafe' - set in a perfectly themed cottage. You can even do high tea events here, which would be a unique and perfect idea for small groups for baby showers, birthdays or bridal showers. Newmans Nursery specialise in camellias and the staff are passionate and knowledgable. Just seconds up the road from the Gully hotel, but feels like miles from anywhere, this place is just the tops.

Myself and my mum came for a look through the nursery and decided to stay for brunch. We sat…read moreoutside and found the views of the hills and surroundings stunning. The gardens surrounding the café are extremely well maintained and create a lovely environment. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was simple, but nice. I had the scones with jam and cream with a soy latte, which was delightful. Mum liked her bacon and eggs. The nursery really is the star of the show, give yourself a good 30-45 minutes to browse, we found staff really helpful and knowledgeable.
