What we grow matters. So does where and how we grow it.
A few frames from the property: the shadehouse, advanced trees in the field, the cane-staked rows in propagation, and the visitor entry off Myocum Road.
it's meant to live
Situated right on the Northern NSW coast, Cape Nursery's growing site is exposed to the same salt spray, prevailing winds, and intense UV that defines the most demanding project environments on the east coast. Our stock isn't hardened to these conditions. It was born in them.
When you specify Cape Nursery, there's no acclimatisation period. No transplant shock from a sheltered inland environment. Every specimen arrives already adapted — because it has spent its entire production life in conditions that mirror your site.
Since taking ownership in 2003, the team has invested substantially in the infrastructure to match that natural advantage: computerised irrigation, upgraded potting machinery, UV water sterilisation, and a closed-loop recycling system that has cut water consumption by a factor of ten. Quality you can specify with confidence.
