WHAT’S HAPPENING AT TREES FOR LIFE?

NURSERY SUMMER SOWN ORDERS

Australian native seedlings love summer. That means it’s the main growing period for our Westwood Nursery, which raises up to 200 different native plant species every year to help landholders, local government and conservation groups meet their revegetation goals. We grow herbs, grasses, ground covers, shrubs and trees from across the state, helping South Australians create homes for native creatures and bring landscapes to life. If you’re not sure where to start, the nursery team would love to share expert advice on species selection. Our years of experience and specialist knowledge mean we can suggest the perfect plant for your project or property. We’re also able to grow rare and threatened species for projects. We’ll collect seed and cuttings suitable to your local provenance, or will collect seed from your own property by request, at cost. Have a chat to our friendly team and see what we can do to help. We grow a minimum of 50 seedlings to order at a very competitive price. The deadline for summer sown orders is Tuesday 30 November. Please get in touch earlier if you have specialist provenance requirements.
