4.8 / 5.0

I received an order last week and am so happy with it that I have just made another order. The plants are strong and healthy and the service prompt and easy to order. Thank you for your great service.

Patricia Edwards

Holly has been so helpful, she has been great in sending us tree photos, hole dimensions and upgrading our order with new stock arriving, very happy with the prompt replies and great service we have received – thank you

Eddie C

Could not recommend enough - I placed quite a large order and needed it delivered on a particular day. Holly was extremely helpful in getting that organised and even assisted with a last minute plant swap.

Harry Hart

I bought a Lilly Pilly from here and 100% will be buying from these guys again. Although the first tree didn’t look good within the first week, the team were so helpful and provided great service with the 30 day guarantee.

Sophie Robertson

Extremely impressed with the easy to navigate website, huge selection of plants but best of all were the prices. As we were looking to buy bulk Lilly Pilly’s for a hedge the discounts available were fantastic for a 10 pack.

Jessica Roe

We've used Brisbane Plant Nursery for a few of our projects over the past year and have been impressed with the quality of stock and the communication of any updates for our orders.
