What do we do?
We are a community nursery, specialising in producing quality indigenous plants with a focus on what to grow in and around Moorabool Shire.
We also offer suggestions and advice for planting your property, wildlife garden or other project plantings, including establishment and maintenance tips. Click here for general revegetation lists for different localities in Moorabool.
Occasionally we offer presentations to interested groups, workshops and volunteering opportunities within our network.
Our Nursery
Our nursery is small but growing in size and produced over 70,000 local native plants in season 2024. The seeds and cuttings are sourced mainly from within Moorabool Shire from private property, reserves, roadsides and remnant vegetation areas, and our own stock.
Some seed is ordered from Seeding Victoria Inc. at Creswick. All plants are propagated on site at Glenmore and the relevant permits are obtained each year for the collection seed and plant material on public land.
Our Team
We have a small team of 2 part-time staff, 2 short term contractors as well as a small team of community volunteers. Our nursery team is highly skilled, experienced and dedicated to producing quality indigenous tubestock to meet a variety of needs.
Working alongside our contractors is a team of volunteers from the community who generously give their time while enjoying the benefits of participation through learning new skills and contributing to revegetation efforts. If you would like to volunteer please contact the Roger on 0459 622 588.

When to order by?
We prefer you make a wholesale order for forestry or HIKO tubes by 30 November of the year prior to planting (i.e. order before November 2025, ready for collection by April/May 2026).
Ordering in a timely manner assists us to supply your order on time and allows us to grow the plants you require and to factor in the differences in seasons.
Collection of Orders
Orders are to be picked up by the date nominated on the form or an additional fee may be charged. We only have a small space to hold orders. In some cases we may be able to deliver smaller orders locally.
Every effort will be made to supply your order by the due date but if this is not possible we will communicate with you. Sometimes is may be necessary to substitute another species that will fill the same ecological role in the environment.

Our Species List
Our Species List
We grow a range of indigenous plants of local provenance where possible. We do order some seed in if we have been unable to collect it ourselves but choose from the nearest suitable area to match relevant ecological vegetation classes.
If you need plants that are not currently on our list please contact our nursery manager early in the season to discuss your options. We do grow plants that are not always listed on the spreadsheet.
You are welcome to supply your own seed but it needs to cleaned and labelled.

Pot recycling & plant hygiene
Our nursery trys to re-use any pots and trays from plant orders purchased from us if they are returned in a good, clean condition. You may return them to the nursery by contacting the nursery managers and arranging a suitable time.
We require that the pots are cleaned prior to return, otherwise it is another job for our volunteers. Washing needs to remove soil and weed seeds from the planting site. Please place tubes back into the plastic trays supplied with your order, in the individual squares, as we have found this is the easiest way to handle them.
We give them a quick rinse with to remove slugs and snails prior to our disinfection process.
Broken tubes and trays etc should be recycled by you as we do not have enough space to store them or time recycle them.
Unfortunately we cannot accept any other pot sizes other than the ones we sell, as we have no use for them and no room to store them. Check with your local Shire or Council to see how you may recycle other old pots.
We make sure the pots are disinfected before reuse, use only quality potting mix and grow the plants on benches to reduce pest and disease issues.
Return recycled pots washed and in trays
