Greg's Indigenous Plants & Landscapes

Environmentally friendly landscapes.

" The exotic vegetation that replaces indigenous plant communities in urbanising regions, disassociates us from the rhythms and diversity of the native landscape
and a sense of the place; and we are the poorer because of it."

Michael Hough, Professor of Landscape Architecture, York University, Canada

Trees 15 metres or less in height...

While I build up a supply of my own tube stock for some of these species I am able to supply them in 14cm pots from another grower.

However due to the slightly higher than usual cost of plants at this grower and due to the distance from me the price I must charge is correspondingly higher than other more easily available species.

I will have my own tube stock available at the regular tube stock price in due course.
