This is the Autumn sale to end all autumn sales. March 7th to March 24th- 3 WHOLE WEEKS! Extended to 7th April 2018. You may have missed our Spring 2017 sale. That’s because it didn’t eventuate.

Birth, death and taxes. The three certainties of life. Oh, that and Cliff Richard being in his 3rd age -defying cyborg identity (IMO he spent a decade too long in his circa 1981 ‘Wired for Sound’ cyborg body, rousing my suspicions in the first place) The man is without doubt, a robot.

Read moreWe here at Coast Palms and Cycads are amping for our summer break. By the end of these ridiculously hot days we all feel like barbequed prawns and we get a little fractious with each other. Working in 30deg celcius heat with high humidity is fairly taxing so I am more than likely going to…

These will go at lightning speed, so be warned now- get in quick. You may not see another…
Read moreWe need to move some of our larger Bangalow Palms out to make room for incoming stock. These trees are in excess of 3 metres tall and will not fit into a freight truck. To capitalise on the great savings you will have to come and pick these trees up and take them home yourselves…
Read moreI’ve just updated our Philodendron selection (under Subtropicals/Ornamentals) We now have a range of 4 to sell and they’re all very attractive with serious foliage wowee points. With the massive indoor large leaved foliage trend continuing unabated this genus is a winner for the indoor living art prize. At $22.50 for a 2.5l potted specimen…
Read moreThe laws of economics are close on 2000 years old, almost as old as the Welcome Bay hills behind the nursery. As the rain comes down on this thundery and wet day, I’m just writing a brief post about how we are having unprecedented demand for certain species here at the nursery. Many customers and…
Read moreSo here we are at Friday, end of the working week for some lucky people. Not so for me, and to top it off I’m recovering from bronchitis and this seasons turbo-boosted version of strep throat.
