Palms for Brisbane

At Morningside hidden behind a tropical forest is one of my favourite stores. You may have driven past and not realised as it's on a main road, but surrounded by industrial buildings. It's the Palms for Brisbane nursery and it's a hidden oasis.

They specialise in predominantly tropical plants and are a wealth of knowledge. It's lovely to walk around the paths in the nursery and weave amongst the palms and across the bridge at the entry.

As side lines to their nursery they offer full landscaping services or just garden consultations if you like to do the work yourself, but just need to bounce a few ideas around with an expert.

The plant above is from the ginger family. The palms are categorised by international zones so that you can find out more information about the plants you are selecting. In addition to the palms they have a great range of bamboo, gingers, broms, cordyline and heliconia. They even stock some of the more exotic plants such as the jade plant, which is quite a sight when it's in flower.

As a bonus, a recently installed putting green in the palm pavilion keeps the kids entertained while the adults can wander and look longer.

Palms for Brisbane is located at 451 Lytton Rd, Morningside.
