CERES Nursery
BRUNSWICK EAST, VIC
One of Melbourne's best-known community nurseries, tucked inside the CERES environment park at Brunswick East. Run on permaculture principles, it leans toward backyard food production — seedlings and productive plants — but also carries a broad indoor range, from monstera to fiddle-leaf fig. A bookstore sits alongside, and staff hand out practical growing advice. Open seven days on the corner of Roberts and Stewart Streets, across from the park's cafe.
