Before you buy
Buying garden & plants
- Plants cannot be posted to every state: WA, Tasmania and the NT have quarantine rules, so check the store ships to you before you get attached.
- Buy seedlings for your climate zone and the current season; a cheap punnet of the wrong thing is still wasted money.
- Pots are priced by the pot alone; the plant in the photo is almost never included.
- Fertiliser and potting mix are heavy, so compare the delivered price or pick up locally.
Policies change. Each note says when we read it; check the store’s own page before relying on it.
