There are some excellent community nurseries that grow local indigenous plants. VINC in Fairfield is a co-operative with a wide range at great prices. It’s worth becoming a member to get a further discount. Volunteers have potted up a lot of tubes not sold in lockdown. Check it out or look up the indigenous nursery near you!Thanks to our volunteers VINC will have many of our species in 140mm pots ready in mid-late spring. In the meantime we have Blue Devil, Stylidium (Trigger-plant), White Correa and much, much more ready to go into your garden.
