Three decades of growing local
South Coast Flora is a family-owned wholesale propagation nursery located on the beautiful South Coast of New South Wales. For over 30 years, we have specialised in growing high-quality native tubestock, with a strong focus on species native to South East NSW.
Founded by Merryn Carey in the early 1990s, her daughter Heather has now joined the team to help carry forward a shared passion for local plants and propagation.
We focus on using locally collected seed to ensure local provenance, making our plants well-suited to the region's unique environment. Many of the species we grow aren't widely available commercially, giving our customers access to hard-to-find natives.
In addition to native plants, we also propagate a selected range of Australian bush food plants, as well as exotic fruits, nuts, and berries that thrive in the South Coast climate.
Almost everything we grow starts with seed we have collected ourselves from local populations. That local provenance is the reason our plants establish well in South Coast conditions, and it is why we can supply species that are difficult to find anywhere else.
We regularly attend local markets as our retail option: Candelo (1st Sunday of the month), Bermagui (last Sunday of the month) and Moruya (currently alternating Saturdays). We are happy to fill smaller retail orders and prefer to arrange pick up at markets where possible. Please call or email to discuss options.
The nursery is not open to the public.
