Take action for the land you love

Our people are at the heart of all we do. We revegetate and protect bushland, farmland and urban terrain. With local knowledge, we raise awareness about native plants and animals. And with experience we empower people to take action and connect with their landscape.

We work with you. We create visible change. We are South Australian.

Westwood Nursery

We grow quality native plants for most areas of South Australia.

Our Westwood Nursery provides a huge range of native seedlings from 42 vegetation zones across the state. We can grow an order to suit you. As a production nursery we also service some of TFL’s largest on-ground works including the Paddock Tree Project and our professional services unit TFL Works.

Our plants

We are known for the quality and suitability of our plants. We grow over 300 different indigenous species of trees, shrubs, groundcovers and grasses, and unlike most commercial nurseries, we are prepared to invest in local provenance and hard-to-grow orders. Our native plants are grown, propagated and nurtured by our experienced nursery staff along with the support of volunteers.

How to order

Nursery orders are welcome at any time. Orders for summer-sown species close 30 November each year while orders for winter-sown species close 31 July. Contact us to order seedlings

Retail season

If you want to simply drop in to buy seedlings for your garden or project, Westwood Nursery is open for retail sales between May and September each year. Our annual garden plant sale is held in the last week of May. Please call us on 08 8406 0500 before you visit and check current opening times.

Nursery staff also provide training workshops in native plant propagation and care. Our nursery is named for Betty Rutherford Westwood, one of Trees For Life’s founding members and a well-known advocate for revegetation.
