At Wirreanda Nursery

▪   We aim to produce high quality Australian native and Non-invasive exotic plants in an environmentally friendly way. Plants that are suited to the local environment and require less water, fertilisers and pesticides

▪   Our  plants are grown outside so they are totally acclimatised and ready to plant in the home garden. These plants are not  transported by trucks to the nursery so we produce a smaller carbon footprint than nurseries who buy in their plants

▪   We do not use any town water. We use bore water for irrigation and filtered rain water for drinking. We are not connected to the sewage, our toilet and sinks all pass through an envirocycle system. The treated grey water is used to irrigate our garden. 

▪   The pots we use for growing our plants are recycled when available. Our customers are welcome to bring back the pots they took their plants home in to be used again in the next batch. We also recycle all waste soil in various applications.

▪   We often supply plants for local schools and community groups. Recently we supplied 1000 native grow tubes for National Tree Day. We think it is important to promote tree planting to provide habitats for local fauna and for the health of the planet.

▪   We prefer to grow plants that are pest and disease resistant and rarely use pesticides. If we do, we choose the friendliest ones possible. We do not over fertilise and 'force' grow our plants which only produces soft growth vulnerable to pest attack Using the minimal amount of chemicals also prevents nutrient rich run off going into our stormwater and bushland surrounds
