It is our last open Sunday this season. We will open again at the end of Autumn next year (April). All sales after this Sunday 25th Sept will be by appointment. Mb Johnny: 0458381628.
I will still be posting on any plant stock during spring and summer as it becomes available.
Our raw honey will continue to be available so just phone first to pick up.
I’m bringing out a couple unusual things that I have Grafted. They are both deciduous and about to burst with new spring/summer growth.
1. AFRICAN MARULA trees - these are $99 each. You will need both Male and Female trees to produce fruit. (12 left)
2. KING SHATOOT WHITE MULBERRY - $88 each. Only need one, they are an amazing edible feature tree. Ideal to plant on the northside of a building as a lawn or garden centre piece. (1 only)
We also have Monto Vetiver Grass available in tubes. $6.60 each. This is a fast growing grass that gets to 2m+ tall. It makes an great non competitive windbreak around vege gardens and orchards. Once you have a stock plant growing, they can be multiplied easily by division. They are a great mulch source if you want to regularly cut them back.
Last week’s specials are still available. See our last post.
Have a great day!

One of the last few Sundays we will be open this season. After this we will be open by appointment.
We have almost sold all our native tubestock this year. Most of our plant stock available is now larger.
I have a few plants I’d like to clear. These are absolute bargains so don’t miss out if it interests you:
SUNDAY’S BARGAINS:
I have big 4 CANDLENUT trees (left in 6 litre bags) Aleurites mollucanus. They were $66 and need to be planted. I am happy to let them go to a good home for $30 each.
I also have lots of PANDAN. Our large pots which can be divided in to many were $33.00 each, these I have reduced to $25 each. I am letting smaller 2 litre pots go for $10 each.
Other plants that may interest are:
DESERT KURRAJONGS $27.50 - These long lived iconic species are just about to burst out their spring growth in 2 litres. Plus three large ones - $77.
NORKOLK ISLAND PINES - $44 each. Looking fabulous if you have a coastal spot and plenty of space. Could easily be potted on and sold as advanced trees.
We still have 3 PASSIONFRUIT varieties left after last weeks sales.
And our wonderful RAW HONEY $10 each and HONEY COMB.. $5.00 each. While our honey is no longer runny it has a lovely soft texture that melts in your mouth with a malty edge to the flavour.
To keep this honey liquid we would have to substantially heat it and this would damage its natural microbiome and hence many health benefits. To pass on these benefits, we choose to sell it raw and unheatedunseated.
See you tomorrow and have a lovely day.

Sunday again and the nursery is open. 9.00am-3.00pm
This week I am bringing a few Pileanthus tubestock (also known as Coppercups) out of the shadehouse. These are breathtakingly beautiful wildflower shrubs that grow well on the sandplain. They are native around Yuna through to Sharkbay. If you have a native garden and you want it to stand out, think about this species.
I also have four different passionfruit available:
TENNIS BALL PINK - $18.70 (20 left) My Favourite
PANAMA GOLD - $13.20 - a gi-normus and very vigorous variety which has been growing prolifically in Carnarvon. How to impress the neighbours. (30 left)
JAPANESE HARDSHELL - $16.50 a beautiful deciduous vine (3 left)
HAWAIIAN YELLOW - Our old faithful yellow variety with a lovely sweet tang. $13.20 (15 left).
I have also brought out some MEXICAN OREGANO. $22 each. This is a great fast growing herbal shrub that you can regularly harvest for its oregano flavoured leaves. I only have 8 of these as they are difficult to propagate.
AND…. We have lots of jars of our freshly robbed raw HONEY available.. $10 for 500g. Divine flavours this season!
Have a great day!

Open Sunday 9.00am- 3.00pm
Come and check out our freshly harvested honey and honey comb. $10 Jars For 500g. $5 tubs of honey comb. Our bees are located in the middle of our organic farm.
We have also tubestock of Rottnest Island teatree available. Even though it it called Rottnest Isand teatree, this species occurs up and down the WA coast. We have grown our seedlings from native plants from the Drummonds cove area. The mother plant is actually growing up again the ocean.
They are incredibly hardy windbreak shrubs that tolerate most soil types, drought, wind and salt.
Their versatility allow them to be under pruned into canopy trees, or shaped into hedges. Their flowers are loved by bees as they are often flowering when our wildflowers have finished.
Tubestock are $4.40 each.

This Sunday, we have some honeycomb for sale. Tubs $5.00 each. It came out of our hives yesterday. Our hives are located in the middle of our organic farm and the bees forage amongst our gardens, tree crops and native plants. 500g jars of liquid raw honey with pollen and creamed also available. $10 each.
Our plant of the week is the African Marula Tree.
After seeing and being fascinated by the Marula tree in the Kalahari desert 25 years ago, I bought some fruit back to Australia (via quarantine) to see if they would grow in Geraldton. Look what happened! Who has tried Amarula Cream or remembers seeing the African booze tree utube videos? Even better who remembers Marula Beer? Well, our trees are fruiting well in Geraldton and if anyone is interested we have plants for sale. They are deciduous. Grafted trees ($99 each) are available - male and female and yes you need one of each for fruit. Local pickup only. No interstate orders sorry.
Nursery Open Hours: Sunday, 9.00am-3.00pm or by appointment during the week. Mb: Johnny 0458 381628
