Caring for Country
Native Nursery

The Muru Mittigar Native Nursery is a wholesale and retail nursery, specialising in growing plants from provenance seed collected in the local area. Our emerging plant lines include bush tucker plants, with species chosen from across Australia.

The Muru Mittigar Provenance Nursery

Stock is primarily grown in forestry tubes and Hiko cells for both convenience and affordability.

Lately we are increasingly growing in larger pot sizes to cater for gardeners, landscapers and developers wanting an instant effect.

Muru Mittigar endeavours to employ and train local indigenous people wherever possible.

Staff training is integral to the success of our organisations with all staff gaining expertise in seed collection, propagation, bush regeneration, and traditional plant usage.

Propagation

The Muru Mittigar Provenance Nursery propagates plants in the form of trees, shrubs, climbers, grasses and ground covers, specialising in species from the Cumberland Plain of Western Sydney, in addition to the sandstone species of the Blue Mountains and Greater Sydney Basin. These plants are for sale to both wholesale commercial customers and the general public from our retail section.

Habitat

With the increasing demand of land for housing, habitat is now under more pressure than ever with many species now listed as threatened or endangered under NSW and Commonwealth legislation. The Muru Mittigar Native Nursery ensures that original local species are available for use in rehabilitation projects, council plantings, parklands and increasingly in home gardens, to preserve the gene pool of local native plants.
