© Drylands Foundation, 2014 The Drylands Permaculture Nursery Since 1989, we have been operating as a locally owned nursery in Geraldton, Western Australia. We specialise in propagating multi-use permaculture and local native , suited to our arid and semi-arid environment.

Our Catalogue This catalogue lists our current stock of plants, together with useful information that includes their suitability to different soil types, size and their water requirements. They are grouped into climbers, groundcovers and small shrubs, grass/bamboo’s, shrubs and trees. You can use this information to select which plants are the most suitable for you. We can assist you in determining how many plants you may need and advise you of the best way to support their healthy growth when you visit our nursery.

How to Buy Our Plants Visit our nursery on the corner of David Rd (North) and Tramway Rd in Waggrakine, Geraldton to buy plants from our catalogue range or have us grow your plants to order for you. For retail sales, please check out our website page for opening hours or you can call us on (08)9938 1628 or email us at [email protected] to arrange an alternative time. For plants grown to order, our minimum order is one ‘tray’ of 40 tube-stock seedlings. Orders need to be confirmed by December for the following planting season to allow time for us to collect seed and raise the seedlings. For all sales, you can pay by eftpos, cheque, direct deposit or cash. We have an $11 delivery charge on orders to Geraldton freight company depots and cater for courier pick ups.

Price List Our catalogue is seperate from our stock and price list. This is available from our website. Prices vary according to size, age and rarity.

Our Quality Range All our stock is grown here at our farm. We believe in growing the best quality plants and produce a unique range of sun and wind hardened native plants that other nurseries do not offer. We are not a certified organic nursery but do practice organic growing methods and integrated pest management techniques. So even the frogs find our nursery an easy place to find what they are looking for!

Here’s to a good season.
