are constantly looking for new and improved series of all cut

the best possible products. As we are now
sourcing from many breeders in various countries we have a wider variety of choice, enabling us to bring you
the premium varieties. Many of
these product lines are trialled both in Australia and overseas
but some have only had extensive
trialling overseas. Therefore we are often
relying upon information from overseas when recommending certain
product lines and cannot guarantee exact same performance here
in Australia.

We
are constantly looking for new and improved series of all bedding
and potted lines to help our growers with
the best possible products. As we are now
sourcing from many breeders in various countries we have a wider variety of choice, enabling us to bring you
the premium varieties. Many of
these product lines are trialled both in Australia and overseas
but some have only had extensive
trialling overseas. Therefore we are often
relying upon information from overseas when recommending certain
product lines and cannot guarantee exact same performance here
in Australia.
