State Flora

The State Flora Nursery is run by the department of Environment and specialises in selling South Australian plants and natives suited to the South Australian climate and conditions and promotes sustainability and conservation.
The Nursery is expansive with a range of trees, shrubs, grasses, flowers, fruit trees and some vegetables up for grabs. The plants on offer are at various stages of growth many are ready to go and already established and more are just waiting for full maturity.
The staff in the Nursery are exceptional. All have a huge bank of knowledge and can show you a great range of plants suited to your region and needs and most of the plants are drought tolerant and attract native wildlife (all super important in my books!). The staff also are great with first time gardeners and will talk you through how to prepare the ground, what to use, how to compost, what tools you need, where to plant etc.
The price is also pretty reasonable. I’ve turned to buying here for all of my plants as other big chain stores are just too expensive and the plants are poor quality and wilt away within the month (I’m looking at you Bunnings!).
Definitely worth a visit, I send everyone here!
