We have listed the plants that we attempt to keep in stock but due to spasmodic demand and seasonal conditions, some species may be temporarily unavailable. These lists are intended to be fairly comprehensive, however other varieties are available on occasions.

AUSTRALIAN NATIVES Large shrubs can be pruned and trained into tree formation. We have listed shrubs and trees together in one group to save confusion, ground covers and creepers are listed separately. Trees that flower will encourage colourful birds into the garden with the added bonus of helping to control some of the insect pests, Shrubs make great hardy wind breaks for all sorts of positions. Ground Covers help to conserve water, choke weeds and help keep the dust down. Climbers can be used as groundcovers, covering unsightly sheds and fences or even growing up posts.		CACTI / SUCCULENTS These plants give pleasure to the older generation right down to young children. People who are confined to a wheelchair will find these plants give them hours of enjoyment by creating a miniature garden in pots. One of the best values in growing Cactus or Succulents is that they do not need a lot of precious water or attention like most plants need. For more information go to our fact sheet WHY GROW CACTI AND SUCCULENTS?.
CAMELLIAS There is always an enchantment in the garden when growing camellias. Even when they are not in flower their shiny foliage is lush green giving the garden a stately look. They are a must for every garden lover. Camellias can be grown in most gardens in tubs or in the ground providing that they are put in the right position etc. For more information go to our fact sheet GROWING CAMELLIAS.		CONIFERS Have always been popular for tubs, Christmas trees, shade trees, wind breaks, ground covers and hedges. With the introduction of Town Houses, Courtyard Gardens and smaller blocks of land, Conifers have increased in popularity. Their contrasting colours of foliage can bring any type of garden alive. For information on planting, see our PLANTING GUIDE.
COTTAGE PLANTS There is a reason that a Cottage Garden looks so eye pleasing, attractive and relaxing. By planting flowers of different heights and colours you add texture to the garden. This section is designed to give you ideas and a list of plants with descriptions.		FERNS Ferns offer a wide variety in foliage size, patterns, textures and shades of green. Kept in the right position some varieties will grow inside the home or office for a long time. To receive more information about growing ferns, see our fact sheet on FERNS FOR THE GARDEN.
HERBS Herbs can play an important part in our life. They have many uses; perfume, colourful flowers and foliage in the garden and medicine. They are ideal for the vegetarian diet where the flowers or colourful leaves can add colour to any mixed salad. Before you use leaves and flowers check to make sure that they do not contain toxins. Most Health shops have good informative books on the toxidity of plants.		INDOORS Most people create a relaxing garden outside and forget the inside of the home. Peaceful moods can be extended to inside the home or work place with the correct type of indoor plants placed in prominent positions. Why not bring a little garden into your home or office and allow the plants to help with cleaning up the polluted atmosphere around you?
NON NATIVE SHRUBS & TREES Trees are an important part of our environment. They not only add beauty to our surroundings, but shade to our gardens and homes in our hot, dry summers. Shrubs Smaller shrubs are an important part of the garden which help control weeds, where larger shrubs help control dust and wind from coming into your living space. Ground Covers come in many shapes and sizes, so research before you buy them. Climbers are ideal for covering up rain water tanks. You will find lists of Deciduous Fruit Trees, Deciduous Ornamentals, Citrus, Conifers and recipes on Cooking from the Fruit Tree Garden. NON NATIVE EVERGREENS:- Trees, Shrubs, Ground Covers and Climbers.		PALMS South Australia, with its Mediterranean climate, allows us a very wide scope for growing a large variety of trees, shrubs, palms and many other species of plant life. There is a wide selection of palms that can be grown inside or outside. With palms strategically placed in the home or office and the right type of lighting an assortment of these plants can create a relaxing atmosphere.
ROSES Roses are available open-rooted from June to August, after which they are potted up into containers and should be ready for sale from late September onwards. Before calling into any Garden Centre it may be wise to ring and check if the varieties you are requiring are available. This will certainly save you valuable time and much disappointment in the long run!		SEEDLINGS Times have changed from the old days where you could go into a nursery and buy a bundle of seedlings for a few pence and rush home and plant them out before they died. With the aid of a plastic punnet your seedlings will stay alive for weeks if watered regularly. Do not forget to use snail bait when slugs and snails are active.
