BURRA GARDEN SUPPLIES & NURSERY PTY LTD

 

Welcome to Burra Garden Supplies and Nursery, the largest combined garden supplies and nursery in South Gippsland, set on over 2 acres.

We are a local, family owned and run business that began as a brand new business venture in January 2002. Since it’s inception we have been fortunate enough to go from strength to strength, adding a full range nursery in 2012.

We now employ 11 staff members with combined many years of knowledge in the nursery, garden supplies and transport industry and there are various aspects to our business  that keeps us on our toes all year round.

We can help you out from turning the first sod on your brand new block of land, to planting your latest feature tree.

We hope we can tempt you with our selection of products, and invite you to call in, have a browse and say hello.

Regards,

Adrian and Kelly Hughes.

  • Firewood Sales

We are members of the Firewood Association, which ensures it’s members only be supplied with wood harvested from sustainable, ethical sources, and is dry, seasoned wood. We sell our wood by weight, which we believe is the fairest method  as it is exact, with no guesswork involved.

Whilst we endeavor to have wood available all year round, we do suggest that customers stock up as early as possible in the season (even summer) to achieve maximum seasoning, and avoid disappointment should supply run short in the depths of winter.

Kindling and briquettes are also available.

  • Pig Manure

Based in Corowa, NSW we truck out of the Rivalea Piggery between 8-10,000 tonnes of pig manure each year to our site. We then age it, screen to a friable consistency then send it all over the Eastern seaboard, and into NSW.

Whilst the pig manure is primarily used as an organic fertilizer substitute for agriculture, but is equally useful for home gardener. We can supply any amount from a bag, trailer load, to bulk truckloads.
