This not-for-profit enterprise is First Peoples-led and focuses on delivering better outcomes for staff, customers, the community and local environment.
“Our customers love discovering our native nursery plants,” nursery managers Chantal and Pete said. “We use local native seeds, which are sourced from diverse eco-systems, to propagate our hardy plant range.

The nursery team at Worn Gundidj are friendly and welcoming, and are happy to discuss what plants best suit your garden and environment.
