High Quality Seedlings
Fresh seedlings available every fortnight - no old stock, and no overcrowded pots. We prepare every plant with care to set you up for success at harvest time. Our seedling varieties are always offered in season and chosen because they're easy to grow and bred to tolerate the Illawarra’s warm climate. We use a variety of open pollinated, heirloom, locally sourced, and/or home grown seeds.
-
Sustainable Practices
We make an effort at every stage of our business to avoid plastic and paper waste - but we're always happy to make our information accessible to customers on paper on request. We grow all our seedlings without chemical additives, and deliveries are made via e-bike. Don't forget, all of our plastic packaging can be returned to the nursery for a discount on your next purchase!
-
Accessible To Everyone
Its very important to us that our products are available to people from all walks of life. When you visit us at the markets, you have the option to pay full or concession price based on your circumstances. We donate unsold stock to community gardens, food pantries, and other organisations that serve those in need as part of our fortnightly stock turn over - prioritising our values in the process.
-
Empowerment and Inspiration
Growing our own food is a universal urge that helps us feel connected to the earth and to each other. Many retailers take advantage of this by selling you products that won’t yield a harvest, damaging your confidence. Let us show you how easy gardening can be when you start with seedlings at the right age and stage, and keep it simple. We break it down for you and set you on the path to sucess.
