Hi all,

I am looking at buying a large number of plants for a backyard
renovation shortly and am wondering where people go for the best prices
around the South East Melbourne area.

There are a couple of local nurseries (medium sized - small variety of
plants) and knowledgable staff. There is a trade nursery in Dingley
which has a huge amount of small and established plants (both of which
I am looking to buy) but not for sale to the general public.

Any suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated.

As youre buying a large amount, you should be able to buy wholesale. :-X

From the local nurseries? or from a specific wholesaler? I was not
aware of this .. are there conditions on the quantity you must buy
before you are 'eligible'??

Thanks

I've found offering anyone money usually allows you to buy at wholesale
prices.
Especially if you tell them you run a business.

True.. probably don't want to lie cause I'll probably get caught out
Also I suspect what I consider a great deal of plant buying and
spending my hard earned cash is small pittance to them.. Quite happy
to pay, I just want good value for money and quality goods/staff
knowledge.

Just go in there and try.
Faint hear never won fair lady. Then again I bargain with shop keepers
all the time.
And I do run my small business...It has advantages...Trouble is its
becoming smaller all the time.
Must be the GST or something....

Any way you can always give them a phone call.

Chris & Maree's Plant Farm (www.hellohello.com.au) in Carrum Downs has
pretty good prices and a reasonable range.
Gardenworld on Springvale Road (I think it's in Dingley) usually has a
better range, although they charge a little more.

Just around the corner from hello hello (back up hill turn left at
KFC and go about 600mts) theres a 'garden center' which is really a
blokes home hobby plant place but everything $3.00
