How do you grow?
WNG produces plants by cuttings or seed.
We maintain a large private collection of species specifically for cuttings production and source seed from the Wheatbelt region via licensed collection and / or private property.
What sets WNG apart from many other plant suppliers is that we do not sell our plants in round pots.
We only sell in forestry tubes ($6.00 each), super tubes ($10.00 each) or olive pots ($ variable) to produce downward trained roots.

Can you post plants to me ?
Unfortunately not. We may consider it in the future, but for now, all plants are to be collected from WNG HQ in Kellerberrin
Do you sell large established plants?
Let’s be clear. An established plant is one that’s already in the ground, showing good health, vigor and growth - ie, it’s established. Plants in pots are never established.
There’s good evidence to show that a native plant, grown in a forestry tube, will out perform the same species grown in a round pot .
With good planting technique, you will be surprised at how quickly a plant grown in a forestry tube will become established in your garden. Remember that a forestry tube trains the roots to go down into the soil profile, helping to establish a deep rooted, strong and healthy plant.
Round pots train the roots to go round in circles, which often leads to strangulation, even after the plant is planted.
Such plants may never grow properly, irrespective of their size at planting.
Can you design and plan my garden for me ?
No.
WNG is a grower and supplier of native plant species.
We do not offer landscape design services, but can put you in touch with at least one Wheatbelt business offering such services.
My garden is a mess, the weeds are out of control and everything needs pruned - can you help me ?
