Overview

Austplant gardens survive solely on rainfall which makes native plants an attractive feature to any garden in today’s climate. In addition to the drought tolerant features of native plants, Austplant prides itself on the quality of the plants by using a soil media in their potting mix. This allows the plant to hold moisture for longer periods of time around their newly developing root systems. This also allows the plants to acclimatise to the areas natural soil whether being free draining sand or heavy sticky clay.

The nursery provides hundreds of species of native plants displayed in terraces overlooking a valley. The terraces are clearly categorised by shrubs, small to medium bushes and trees to advanced plants. Customers will generally find the plants they are considering purchasing fully matured in one of Austplants many display gardens. For ease of the customer, Austplant also has a labelling system for all plants. The labels display the plants characteristics and conditional requirements i.e. lime / salt tolerant, shade / sun etc to allow customers to browse the terraces at their own pace with as much information as possible and making the right selection easy. For customers wanting additional information all Austplant staff are fully trained to provide specialist advice and can do so, free of charge, at the nursery itself, based on photos, diagrams, samples or just simple discussion. For more personal assistance, Austplant staff can visit the customer’s property to provide advice, layout and even planting upon request (refer to Garden Design page).
