Indigenous Nurseries

Whitehorse is fortunate to have three nurseries operating within our municipality that grow indigenous plants. This helps to ensure that our biodiversity is supported through the propagation of plants that are local to our area. Bungalook and Greenlink are community run nurseries staffed by volunteers. Council manages the nursery in Jolimont Road, Forest Hill to grow plants for our parks and open spaces.

Parkswide Nursery (Wholesale Only)

Council’s ParksWide Nursery is a wholesale only facility and produces more than 100,000 plants per year in a variety of sizes. Seventy percent of plants are indigenous to the City of Whitehorse. Plants grown at this site are used to revegetate the municipality’s parks, gardens, main road median strips, roundabouts and shopping centres.

Located at 82 Jolimont Road, Forest Hill, the nursery is nationally accredited through NIASA (Nursery Industry Accreditation Scheme Australia). It is the only local government nursery in Victoria to hold this accreditation rating, which recognises professional excellence in the production of healthy vigorous plants using best practice techniques.

Bungalook Nursery

Volunteers at Bungalook Nursery propagate many species of native plants indigenous to the Whitehorse area for distribution to local bushland parks, schools, individuals and businesses wanting to purchase indigenous plants.
