ABOUT ZANTHORREA NURSERY

Zanthorrea Nursery Perth

The original nursery in Gooseberry Hill had spectacular Grasstrees (Xanthorrhoea preissii) growing naturally in the front garden. To make the name easy to spell, just as people hear it we changed it to Zanthorrea. The botanists don’t like the spelling, but it does make us easier to find in the phone book!

Australia is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world with some amazing plants. Many of these plants are more than just attractive garden specimens with edible and medicinal properties. We owe much of our knowledge of these plants and their uses to the traditional owners of this land.

What a stunning nursery. I've been going there for so many years. Take a look at this stunning grafted, weeping Grevillia that I bought there about 12 years ago. Look at it now!

A definite place to visit if you are into native plants. It's a big nursery in term of space. They might not the most extensive number of plants but mind you they are specialising in native plants so plants selection is selective only to native. You do find some strays like succulents and cacti.The place has a cafe area to sit but doesn't seem to have someone running the cafe itself. It is just a very small section. Also has a playground and a section where you can walk and sit and just enjoy the greeneries.What I love about this place is they sell many garden decorations and pieces, but definitely check out their pots. Bought some and will definitely be back just for the pots alone!read more

A beautiful nursery, predominantly focused on Australian native plants. Everything is well set out, with plants grouped in different categories. The plants are very reasonably priced. They sell well established plants, as well as tube stock, seedlings, herbs and vegetables.Features also include a children's playground, public toilets, giftware, indoor plants, pots, soil and a sample garden. They even have pet chickens! The staff are friendly and can help to give you suggestions for your garden.read more

Love Zanthorrea....great choice of Natives. Helpful staff and just a beautiful garden feel which is inviting to wander around. We have ripped out a front lawn and slowly replanting as a native garden.

Zanthorrea Nursery is a family-owned garden centre, located in the hills of Perth, Western Australia.At Zanthorrea they specialise in Australian natives, which are among the world's most lovely and hardy plants.I relocated from Adelaide 5 mths ago & I have learnt that 60% of the wild flowers in WA can not be found anywhere else in the world.I was dragged to plant nurseries my whole childhood bit it’s funny, as now I remember it as a highlight, the adventure my sister & I had while our parents gathered for the coming season.Zanthorrea is a wonderland of natives, tropical, succulents & plantable produce. They have wonderful designed gardens & fish ponds to admire & the kids will love it! You will find pots galore, kids play equipment & chooks in a cage (ethical one that is) Coffee machine, ice cream & a gift shop that I could have emptied.Staff were knowledgeable & engaging when I had questions.With the drive that’s for sure!read more
