19.01.2022 Our local paperbark is one that naturally grow along the Chapman river with saltwater couch grass growing up to its trunk. This clue tells us that it will grow well around lawn edges without competition. This species was highly utilised in indigenous cultures way before the advent of paper. It occurs all up the southwest coast and Geraldton has the most drought tolerate forms of all being at the top of its native range. This species is also a great fast growing windbreak an...d can be easily under pruned to produce a shade canopy in a garden environment. This paperbark (Melaleuca rhaspiophylla) is tolerant of many soils, salty water, waterlogging and drought. Think about diversifying your garden habitats and include these in your plantings, birds love them for nesting and so do children discovering the iconic Australian "paperbark" trees. OUR SALE is on until 27th September .. and the paperbarks are on special..

18.01.2022 200 Red River gums left. - Weekend special extended - 25% discount - selling this weekend for $3.30 each These fast growing trees are big and shady and are local to our region. The Red river gum is a long lived species and it is not unusual to find trees over 100 years old along creeklines with many hollows used for bird nests. As their trunks often have red gum oozing out, these orange-red scars are what I always thought initiated their common name. Suitable for rural proper...ties wanting to create habitats, shade or windbreaks. Once established these will grow without irrigation. Open Saturday and Sunday 10am - 5.00pm For week sales, phone Johnny on MB: 0458 381 628. 333 David Road, Waggrakine. Local people, local plants, local wisdom. See more

18.01.2022 Awesome resources...

18.01.2022 Our Tubestock sale has officially began today. One of our highlight plants belongs to Calothamnus genus, these are commonly known as the 1/2 sided bottlebrushes or Clawflowers. It is quite unbelievable that plants that grow naturally on white sandplain can produce such vibrant displays of flowers with no water, fertiliser or any help from humans. If you look carefully at the stamens in the flower you can see why they are called clawflowers. It is so interesting how nature ...replicates patterns in both animal and plants. There are 41 species of Calothamus in WA of which only a few are commercially available. This "Witcherina form" of Calothamnus quadrifidus grows approximately 1.5 - 2m high and is one of the heaviest flowering forms I have seen. If you want to introduce a little uniqueness into your garden, here is a great species to try. The Murchison Clawflower. We have Clawflower tubestock on special. (normally $5.50.) Now with a 20% discount for individual plants or if you want a hedge of them "6 for the price of 4", our super deal) If you want to see them in flower at the moment, take a look along our road verge. Open 10.00am -5.00pm Thursday to Sunday. 333 David Road Waggrakine, Geraldton. Local people, Local Plants, Local Wisdom

17.01.2022 If you have an urban block and are looking for an attractive local hardy small tree that is not a gum, have a look at the Jam Tree. Said to smell like raspberry Jam when the wood is cut, this Acacia lives for around 40 years and has a beautiful hard timber. It is also the popular host tree used to grow Sandalwood and Quandong with. Another underutilised Acacia is Curara. This is prized bush food with its immature edible seeds resembling green peas. Curara is a prickly shrub ...which every bird lovers should have in their garden as it proves a great (cat) safe habitat for birds and is awesome at directing traffic (away from it) so if you have a security issue and no fence this makes a great living one. Seedlings available or both.. Just $4.40 each. We are open Sunday or by appointment other times. Mb Johnny 0458381628 333 David Road, Waggrakine Local people, local plants, local wisdom.

16.01.2022 Fast living wind protection in Geraldton. Lets get real about Geraldton and growing things. Buffering the wind is a priority, the hard part is finding living windbreaks that grow fast enough and last long enough to create a critical microclimate that we need to protect less hardy and more productive plants. Of all the plants we grow, if I was to start from scratch in an open exposed environment, I would be looking at a first-off strategy of hedging Oldman Saltbush and Vetive...r grass. Within 2 years, (with once a week watering through the dry times), we would have significant protection to set up for a vege garden or another edible landscape or ornamental garden without major root intrusion/competition of the windbreak species within the landscaped areas while waiting for slower growing plants to establish. Both these species are available now. The Oldman Saltbush is on SPECIAL in our SALE Share this to your friends starting up on new cleared properties, you will save them so time and many plant loses and heart breaks. SALE on until 27th September .. Open Thursday to Sunday, 10.00- 5.00pm 333 David Road, Waggrakine, Mb: Johnny 0148381628 Local Plants, Local people, Local wisdom. See more
