Australian paradise can be created by a visit to Zanthorrea. All plants are well grown and I have never lost one of the plants bought when transplanted into my garden because the pot had poor soil or been allowed to dry out. Keep up the great work Team. And the gift shop is well stocked also, a great place for Australian gifts 🌸read more

Always a lovely experience going to this little gem of a nursery. An amazing range of natives in a relaxed secret garden setting. Plenty of friendly staff ready to hand.

A nursery that really knows about plants! We wanted our new garden to be all natives and have a very shaded area we wanted to plant in. One of the staff walked around with us and showed us all our options while answer our questions. Amazing range, great display and very knowledgeable staff!read more

Love this place so much. Great giftware and the staff are so friendly. Just spoke to Ciara (I think that was her name) on the phone and she was so lovely to deal with and grabbed my plants for me so I could just come in and pay for them.read more

This has become a recent favourite. Specialising in natives, their stock is always very healthy and in wonderful condition. The staff are very friendly, helpful and have great advice. I drive out of my way to go to this place for tubestock and they have a play area for kids too. Best of all, the prices are line ball with the big green shed, which is a huge bonus.read more

This nursery is an exemplar for the highest standard of customer service. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful, kind and patient and there is always someone on hand to answer my countless questions. They obligingly put my name on a waitlist when something is out of stock and text when it comes in. I don’t live close but it well worth the drive.read more

A nursery is only as good as the worst plant on site. I thought they were all good so that makes it five stars.Not anything sub standard to be seen. No half price plant sales where disappointment often lays ahead for optimistic buyers.Helpful staff with knowledge and advice.We visited from Leeming and I imagine customers come from much further away to buy their plants. As well as mainly native species there are non natives, bedding plants and veg. The integral gardens are full of labelled plants to show what your potential plants will grow into.I challenge any visitor to leave without being tempted to buy something.read more

I go there so often but never thought to leave a review. It’s more than a garden centre. The amazing staff enthusiastically share their knowledge. But I must say it’s my go to place when I want to send gifts overseas. Fabulous gift ideas for young and old. My family in Ireland live what I send from Zanthorrea. Just live the place.read more

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
