Nursery Plants and Facilities

The Hawkesbury Community Nursery is predominantly a volunteer run nursery that propagates and sells Hawkesbury Indigenous native plants. The Nursery is located at 10 Mulgrave Road, Mulgrave, next door to the Hawkesbury Companion Animal Shelter.

Open to the public Wednesdays from 9am to 1pm or by appointment, and on the 1st Saturday of the month 9am to midday (excluding December and January)

These plants are good quality, hardy plants; and are sold at an affordable price, ranging from $2.20 to $2.80 (forestry tube size). For the full list of nursery fees, see Operational Plan 2024/2025 (see pages 100 & 101).

There are over 130 different native plant species that the Hawkesbury Community Nursery has propagated. These range from trees, shrubs to groundcovers and suit a variety of situations in the Hawkesbury. These include creeks and riverbanks, paddocks and fence lines, home gardens and revegetation works in a variety of soil types. See the current list of available plants.

The plants can be used for a variety of purposes such as landscaping, erosion prevention, providing native animal habitat, and bushland restoration projects.

Schools in the Hawkesbury Local Government area can receive 4 free native plants of their choice every year from the Hawkesbury Community Nursery.
