About Shingledowne Nursery
Brian and Jenny Stout bought the property then called Shingledowne in 1987 and set about building the Landscape Supplies and Nursery business they now run.
Initially Shingledowne grew Tubestock for the Wholesale Trade for 3 years, then as growing areas were cleared and built the Tubestock was grown on, again for the Wholesale Trade.
With the inclusion of Landscape Supplies into the business came the need to begin Retail Plant selling. This was a natural progression and a bonus for the local population as they could now enjoy quality plants at wholesale prices while also being able to enjoy the great advice available from the actual growers, qualified in Horticulture.
You can be sure that the plants you purchase have been grown locally, are hardy and have not been under plastic or in air conditioning.
As employers, we underline the importance of Training and Safety in the Workplace. Everyone operating machinery at the Nursery has a Work cover ticket for that machine and is undergoing training of some sort be it a Certificate in Horticulture, a Bobcat Ticket, Computer Accounts training or general Nursery presentation and Customer Relations.
We grow very hardy and water wise varieties of plants from scratch here at the Nursery and can source anything else you need within about a week's notice. We have also put our energies into the building and garden construction side of the industry with significant increases in the products available in this field.
Whats New highlights new stock or upcoming events, important information about current pests and diseases as well as useful tips on how to construct, plant, renovate and look after gardens and potted plants.
We are always looking for new products and have undertaken significant expansion in each year of operation.
Where are we?
In Bonnells Bay, on the shores of beautiful Lake Macquarie, on the Morisset Penninsula. View our map. The Nursery is situated on a 5 acre property, set well back from the road with a large parkland frontage and dam.
