A native plant sale with purpose
Our conservation nursery offers plants that are both beautiful and meaningful. Many of the species available are not commonly found in regular commercial nurseries, making this a wonderful opportunity to find something special for your garden, courtyard, verge, frog pond, or revegetation project.
Whether you are refreshing a small space or planning a larger planting project, our nursery offers species that celebrate local biodiversity and help create gardens that truly belong to this place.
Every plant you buy supports conservation, community education, and habitat restoration at The Wetlands Centre Cockburn.
Why choose native plants?
Well suited to local conditions
Native plants have evolved with local soil, rainfall, and temperature conditions, making them resilient and practical choices for Perth gardens.
Lower maintenance
Many native species need less water and less ongoing care once established.
Better for wildlife
Native plants help support birds, bees, butterflies, and other beneficial species.
Perfect for habitat-friendly gardens
They are ideal for wildlife gardens, frog ponds, and landscapes designed to strengthen local ecological connections.
What you might find on the day
