Sydney Wildflower Nursery

Sydney’s best native plant nursery? Many say this is it. With a history that stretches back to 1974 (this location opened in 1983) and a running catalogue of 1200 native flowers, trees, shrubs and grasses, this is the place to visit if you’re looking to plant a hardy, well-adapted garden that will require low ongoing maintenance. Like many other good nurseries around town, Wildflower can even help with the design and has consultants who do home visits. Its regular workshops, meanwhile, cover everything from pruning to collecting honey from native bees.

This is also a hot destination if you’re interested in edible natives and want to learn how to grow and cook them. The team even has a bunch of recipes up its sleeve.
