Wallum Nurseries

What Wallum Nurseries does

Wallum Nurseries Pty Ltd is a private wholesale nursery established in 1999 and headquartered in Gumdale, Queensland, Australia. The company specializes in producing native Australian tube stock plants — exclusively true-form, non-hybrid species — for revegetation, landscaping, and environmental restoration projects. It produces millions of native plants annually and has accumulated more than 20 years of research investment in propagation techniques across nine distinct Australian habitat types, including Dry Sclerophyll Forest, Wet Sclerophyll, Riparian zones, Sub-Tropical Rainforest, Dry Rainforest, Wallum-Heathlands, Wetlands, Coastal, and Grasslands.

The core product is wholesale native Australian tube stock, supplemented by seed collection services and contract growing for rare and endangered species. The company serves a B2B customer base including revegetation contractors, landscape architects, local councils and government agencies, community environmental groups, golf courses, and other nurseries. Project-scale evidence includes supplying 220,000+ plants for a 2 km riverbank restoration at Ormeau Ridge, 40,000 plants for Coomera Parks, and 6,400 endemic plants for an 8-hectare Dayboro environmental offset project.

Wallum operates a wholesale-only distribution model requiring advance orders, with a credit application process for business accounts and online ordering via the Evergreen Connect platform. Distribution is constrained to Queensland due to the company's stated inability to courier plants outside the state. The company maintains industry association memberships with Nursery and Garden Industry Queensland (NGIQ, EcoHort), Landscape Queensland, and the International Plant Propagators Society (IPPS) Australian Region, and holds channel partnerships with Fairhill Native Plants (retail) and Plant Delivery Services (freight). The company is privately held with 11 employees and no disclosed funding, parent company, or revenue figures.
