Native Spirit Nursery

Out in Wanneroo, this Indigenous-owned and managed nursery has quietly become a serious address for Western Australian native plants. Established in 2022, it now has the infrastructure to raise millions of seedlings a year, though the retail side keeps a human scale — open to browsers Thursday to Sunday, with kangaroo paws, banksias, melaleucas, pimeleas and other bushland natives lined up in trays and pots ready for home gardens. The range leans hard into the state's own flora: dwarf banksias, creeping varieties, honey myrtles in soft greys and reds, brown peas and beaufortias that rarely make it onto the shelves of generic garden centres. Behind the retail counter sits a larger purpose — the nursery runs the Kwadget Koorl traineeship program, folding horticultural training into its everyday operations, and it holds NIASA accreditation and WALGA preferred-supplier status, signalling a business built for both revegetation contracts and home gardeners alike. It's Supply Nation registered and wholly Indigenous-owned, a detail that shapes its mission as much as its stock list. For anyone restoring a bush block, planting verge gardens, or simply wanting straight-species natives suited to Perth's sandy soils, this is a place to spend a slow Saturday morning, plant list in hand, among growers who know the country these species come from.
