It opens every Thursday from 8.00am to 1.00pm.<br />It can be a good idea to contact them first by ringing the Toowoomba Council and asking for the nursery manager, who would be able to tell you exactly what is in stock. The nursery depends of donations of local seed to grow its plants, so the stock has its ups and downs.<br />They also take orders, so you could ask for plants to be put aside for you when they are grown, if not there already.<br />TrishPatricia Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892273329190235852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171765088403710716.post-37160381094379736572022-11-10T12:29:42.920-08:002022-11-10T12:29:42.920-08:00Patricia,

If it is not too much, could I ask you, is this a plant I could find as tube stock in a local nursery or online? If you have a recommendation I would appreciate it as I haven't had a lot of luck with those I've contacted. That may, of course, be my rough looks and Yorkshire accent - I don't know. Thanks again.<br />rogermikisdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875916990927702097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171765088403710716.post-6701018436998810602022-11-10T12:16:42.760-08:002022-11-10T12:16:42.760-08:00Hi Roger.

It does need to be pruned once a year to stop it getting too high, so I prune it at a height that is easy for me to reach, which would do the job for a dog.<br />A dog would be able to creep under it, however. Perhaps you could put in a second row of something like Lomandra longifolia, to prevent this. It gets up to waist height in a year or two, and makes a dense little hedge if planted at 1m intervals.<br />TrishPatricia Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892273329190235852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171765088403710716.post-24363933273913996112022-11-07T23:41:26.966-08:002022-11-07T23:41:26.966-08:00Thank you for posting this.

I want to establish a fence-line shield of dense but native plants that will be easy to maintain, grow into a relatively inpennerable barrier and not exceed 2 to 3 metres in height.<br /><br />I want to do this so that it can stand in place of a fence and provide a barrier for my dog so that we can use the front garden without worrying about him straying onto the road. - I can't afford the costs I've been given for actual fencing so something of this sort seems idea, however I would also welcome any alternative suggestions.<br /><br />thanks again for posting.<br /><br />roger<br /><br />mikisdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875916990927702097noreply@blogger.com
