March 30 Update | Desiree and I have made the decision to close the nursery to customers util further notice. This decision hasn’t been easy for us but for our health, and the health of others, we think is the right way to go. However, we are looking to maintain the supply of plants and gardening products to the general public with sale over the phone and pickup at an arranged time from the nursery.
PHONE ORDERING & PICKUP | To order a plant or product customers can contact the nursery by phone on 44 737 196 between 10am and 2pm to discuss the order and pay by credit card. There will be a minimum order for credit card payments. The order will then be put together and, at an agreed time, we will have the order ready for collection at the nursery gates. Ring us for more details. Keith.

Tuesday March 31st
With "stay at home" regulations now in place due to the Covid-19 outbreak what better time to beautify the inside of the home with some new indoor plants? Indoor plants are natural air purifiers and can help us to stay healthy and rest our minds.
We have a great selection in stock at the moment including Fiddle leaf figs, Philodendrons, Peace Lily, Zanzibar Gems, Parlour Palms, Sanserverias, Devils Ivy, Mistletoe Cactus, Chain of Hearts and more.
We can now arrange delivery of your purchase without you leaving the safe confines of the home. Call us on 44737 196 to discuss what you would like and leave the rest to us. Delivery is currently provided between Kianga and Bermagui. Thanks! Keith #news #intheshop
Monday March 30th

These orders can be picked up at the nursery or we can now offer delivery between Kianga and Bermagui. To organise a pickup or delivery ring us on 44737 196 between 10am and 2pm to confirm arrangements and pay (by credit card only - minimum purchase is $10).
We'll post updates of any new stock available as it arrives - we have just received a new batch of veggie seeds and fruit trees so ring us if you are after these. We also have a great range of indoor plants in stock. Thanks! Keith. #news
Sunday March 29th
Update | Desiree and I have made the decision to close the nursery to walk-in customers from tomorrow - Monday, March 30. This decision hasn't been easy for us but for our health, and the health of others, we think is the right way to go.
However we are looking to maintain the supply of plants and gardening products to the general public with sale over the phone and pickup at an arranged time from the nursery. To order a plant or product customers can contact the nursery by phone on 44737196 between 10am and 2pm to discuss the order and pay by credit card. There will be a minimum order for credit card payments. The order will then be put together and, at an agreed time, we will have the order ready for collection at the nursery gates. Update | we will also announce a new range of delivery services later today (Monday).
This ordering service and pickup will run from tomorrow (Monday) for as long as possible. So give us a ring if you want to order plants or products and we will arrange a time for pickup. Thanks! Keith #news
Saturday March 28th
A quick update - we are open across the weekend - 10am to 3pm. Potting mix is back in stock but we currently have only a handful of veggie seeds and seedlings left (more on order / on the way!) We do still have a good range of herbs in stock plus lots of flower seedlings. We also have a good selection of fruit trees including apples, pears, plums, blueberries and pomegranates.
In line with current distancing and hygiene directives we have implemented some new operating procedures in the nursery.
1. No entry until invited in. We have signage and a rope across the gate.
2. Only two visitors at a time in the nursery. Only one plus staff in the shop at any one time.
3. We are cleaning counter and other equipment after each sale.
4. We are hand cleaning after each transaction.
5. We are observing the 1.5m spacing in the nursery with those who are in the facility.
A big thanks to everyone who has already been in this week for their patience and understanding of these new arrangements 🙂
We are currently looking at offering a home delivery service in the near future. We will post some more details shortly. Thanks! Keith #news
Thursday March 26th
Update | Our order of potted fruit trees arrived today - so we now have limited numbers of plum, peach, nectarine, apple and pear trees in stock - plus pomegranates. We also have a very limited number of onion, beetroot, carrot and basil seedlings in stock - but these are going fast! So if you are after something specific best to give us ring in the nursery on (02) 4473 7196 first (rather than message us on FB - which we can't always check during the day). We are currently open 10am - 3pm. Thanks! Keith #news #vegetables #fruit
