We've moved to the property next door. We're now located at 1033 Tram Rd (no signage - very discrete), down a shared driveway - we've yet to open our own entrance, so please be aware that my neighbours have shown me great leniency until we sort that issue out. Setting up a nursery on a new site is taking some time - but we're getting there. We're still pumping out plants for our retail clients - but we've also expanded in to contract growing natives for our rural clients - and we've made a bit of a name for ourselves in the process.
