The nursery team are producing an array of over 100 plants for growing in our region. These plants are grown from locally collected and
propagated seed and are a variety of native and endemic species.
You will find plants for the garden, the paddock and your regeneration project right here in Tamworth.
Tamworth Regional Landcare Association (TRLA) wanted to grow endemic plants, in particular plants specific to local threatened
ecological communities, to our region for group and project activities. Groups were collecting a variety of common and rare local seed
and wanted a space in which to propagate and grow the seeds on a scale large enough for local distribution.
The nursery space provides opportunity for students and volunteers to learn and share skills and propagate plants used for local working
bees and maintained momentum for 10 years.
Locally sourced seed, producing endemic species from numerous diverse sources and genetic stability
Plants propagated with the assistance of a community enterprise using volunteers and people with disabilities and local employees.
Core expertise in local endemic species, biodiversity, regeneration and habitat plantings.
Producing plants with higher survival rates appropriate to our region.
We are the largest and most diverse source of endemic plants

Are you planning a revegetation, habitat or garden project for Spring 2025 or Autumn 2026? Now is the perfect time to get
in touch and place your order.
At the Landcare Nursery, we grow to order, meaning early planning gives us time to propagate the species you need, grown
from local provenance seed where possible. This ensures your plants will be healthy, robust, and ready when it’s time to go in the ground.
Why plan ahead?
Good communication helps us grow the right plants, in the right quantities, and align with the best planting windows for your site.
While most people target spring and autumn, winter planting is also a good option this year—with mild weather and
consistent rainfall, conditions have been good for establishing new plantings.
Let’s chat about your project:

Flood Damage and Creek Crossings – Do You Need a Licence to Repair?
After recent flooding across the region, many landholders are facing damaged or washed-out creek crossings—and the question we’re hearing
most is: “Do I need a licence to repair it?”
Our members often say that when you become part of Landcare, you’re not just joining a group, you’re becoming part of a family. The concept
is so compatible with Australian culture it’s hard not to get involved! By becoming a TRLA member, you’ll be supporting our work, learning
new skills, becoming part of the solution, and helping to make a difference for the future.
Did you know (TRLA) run an Annual Small Grants program for Landcare activities connected to the Tamworth region.
Volunteer Landcare and Grassroots Community groups can apply up to $2,500 for activities that meet an objective of TRLA’s strategic plan
with eight successful projects being awarded funds from across the region.
