Nurseries--W'sale

Nurseries are areas where many different types of plant species are grown to be sold to landscapers and plant retail stores.

Wholesale nurseries grow a variety of plants which are then sold to a range of businesses, including retail nurseries, commercial gardeners, hardware stores, homemaker centres, and landscape gardeners. Wholesale nurseries may also have retail outlets where members of the public are able to buy plants and nursery supplies at wholesale or discounted pricing.

Wholesale nurseries offer a variety of sun hardy Australian natives and exotic trees, shrubs, groundcovers and perennials from semi advanced through to super advanced and semi-mature stock. Some wholesale nurseries will deal in particular ranges or types of trees, for example some nurseries may specialise in fruit trees, or Australian native plants; whilst others may deals in a broad range of plants.

Advanced tree nurseries are specialist services that provide a range of trees which have been grown to various sizes in special open pots. Advances trees can be purchased in pots as small as 35cm up to 200 litres or more. Some wholesale nurseries specialise in large quantity orders and will have room to accommodate both specialist growing and advanced orders for large scale landscaping needs, this enables plants to be raised for several months before they are needed to plant out.
