About Botanic Nursery

Botanic Nursery has grown from humble beginnings into one of Melbourne's emerging boutique nurseries. What started as a small venture, growing quality plants for our affiliated landscaping businesses, has steadily expanded into a thriving wholesale nursery supplying many of Melbourne's leading landscape companies.

Today, we're entering an exciting new chapter with the growth of our retail nursery, combining our reputation for exceptional plant quality with knowledgeable customer service. Our focus is on producing and sourcing premium trees, shrubs and perennials for discerning homeowners, landscape professionals and commercial clients.

At Botanic Nursery, we're passionate about horticulture and take pride in growing healthy, high-quality plants while creating an enjoyable experience for every customer. As a growing business, we offer the opportunity to be part of a close-knit team where your contribution is valued, your knowledge is appreciated, and you'll have the chance to grow alongside us.
