Bayside community nursery
The Bayside community nursery grows indigenous plants, grasses and trees for planting in Council's bushland, foreshore, parks and reserves and also for public sale.
Council encourages the planting of indigenous vegetation in public and private gardens by:
- Producing plants for Council use in parks, bushlands and other public places.
- Providing plants at wholesale price rates to schools and local golf courses.
- Selling plants to residents, developers and landscapers at wholesale prices.

Contact: 9583 8408
Opening hours: The nursery is open to the public each Thursday and Saturday from 10am to 12noon.
Please note: The nursery only sells plants from April to October each year as this is the best time of year to plant but, we run volunteer sessions all year around.
Become a volunteer at the Bayside community nursery
The nursery has a strong volunteer program that contributes to the propagation and running of the nursery and new volunteers are always welcome.
The volunteer program provides an opportunity for enthusiastic members of the community to work alongside Council staff to propagate from local indigenous bushland plants to provide trees and shrubs to revegetate our bushland environment.
When you become a volunteer, you can:
- Learn how to sow seeds and strike cuttings and care for the developing plants until they are ready for planting out.
- Purchase plants at reduced rates for your own use.
- Receive local environment information in the Banksia Bulletin Newsletter.
- Enjoy participating and learning from involvement in excursions to other bushland areas and nurseries and from training sessions.
- Have access to reference material in the nursery library.
- Become involved in extra activities including tree planting in bushlands and in school programs.
