On holidays on the central coast. Nurseries?

Post by Rilez »

gday every one,
I am on holidays on the central coast and am hoping to be able to drop into a nursery and grab some trees before I head home back to Armidale (where its hard to find stock).
Can any one suggest a nursery to go to?
cheers

Sure. On the central coast, probably the best one to try is The Big Flower, in Ourimbah. It has all stock in 8 inch orange pots $10
Best I've ever seen for value for money and aged stock. I've picked up quite a few beauties from there over the years. They have nearly every native you can think of.

Otherwise, most nurseries on the central coast are an absolute rip off!

I style Bonsai naturally, just as they would appear in the wild.

Just general nurseries? Or bonsai specific ones? :)

There isn't too much in the central coast, to my knowledge at least, but just a little further south there are quite a few like:

Bonsai Art
18 Myoora Raod, Terrey Hills

Ray Nesci
26 Sagards Rd, Dural

If they aren't too far, let me know and I can give you a few more near them.

I did find this one too, but I would call first as I've got a feeling they are now closed, just haven't had time to call them:

BIBO Bonsai Nursery
8 The Link Rd, Peats Ridge
(02) 4373 1136

There also was another store, but I've just noticed she closed on Dec 7th :(
