Tamworth Landcare Nursery

Tamworth Landcare Nursery hours are 8.30am to 1pm, located at 300 Wallamore Rd Tamworth – volunteers from 8.30am, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
For plant orders contact our Nursery Manager Paul Moxon at nursery@trla.org.au
or on 0425 337 475. 

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
  • If we don’t have your requirements in stock in sufficient numbers, we will work with you to meet your needs

Come Work With Us!

Our native plant nursery is on the lookout for a Casual Horticulturist to join our team!

If you’re passionate about native plants, love getting your hands dirty, and have experience in propagation or nursery work, we’d love to hear from you.

To apply or if you have any enquiries please contact Jacqui on 0401717015 or jacqui@trla.org.au


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:

DCCEEW Stakeholder Survey

As part of ongoing stakeholder consultation, the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water has developed a short survey to better understand how climate change is impacting restoration projects across the state.
The survey aims to: 

  • Capture local experiences of climate risks and impacts on restoration efforts,
  • Identify whether climate adaptation actions are being considered or implemented, and
  • Understand what information, tools, or resources could better support restoration practitioners in planning for a changing climate.


We are hoping to reach a wide range of practitioners, planners and policy makers working in ecological restoration across NSW and would greatly appreciate your help in circulating this survey through your networks.

The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and does not collect any personal or identifying information. All responses will be reviewed carefully to ensure they remain anonymous.

Please feel free to forward this message and survey link to any colleagues, project partners or relevant contacts who may be interested in contributing. The broader the reach, the better the insights we can gather to support effective, climate-resilient restoration in NSW.
