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.

Sprouting Joy This Festive Season: Nursery News & Holiday Updates
As the weather warms up and Christmas approaches, the nursery has been reasonably quiet this past month. However, behind the scenes, we're
in full propagation mode, preparing to meet the demand for what we expect to be a very busy autumn season.
Over the Christmas period, Julie will be taking some well-earned leave, but Paul will still be on deck to keep things running smoothly. The
nursery will only be closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, so you can still pop in during the festive season.
Looking for a unique last-minute Christmas gift or tree? We’ve been selling small native Christmas trees, perfect for adding a touch of
nature to your celebrations. They’re available for just $25.00 each, but stock is limited, so don’t wait too long. Visit us this Friday or
Monday to grab yours before they’re gone!
We’d also like to take this opportunity to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our incredible volunteers. Your
dedication and hard work throughout the year make everything we do possible, and we are so grateful for your support.
From all of us at the nursery, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season. See you soon!
We’ve had a fantastic spring here at the nursery, and as the weather warms, our propagation program is in full swing. Paul has been busy collecting seeds from our local natives, which have just finished flowering. It’s an exciting time as these seeds will become the foundation
for future plantings in our community...
