Where to Buy Sydney Native Plants

The Rozelle Bay Nursery plans to sell plants. Their current capacity to produce enough stock is limited by their current temporary facilities. But now that a purpose built nursery is open in Wisdom Street this will change.

Inner West local provenance species are available from Cornucopia Nursery, Marrickville Community Nursery and Strathfield Council Native Nursery.

During the 18th and 19th Centuries, the Turpentine-Ironbark Forests which covered Sydney were cut down for their valuable timber. Annandale house was constructed almost entirely of local Cedar *. The remaining local provenance vegetation succommed to farming, possibly mining clay, for pipes, domestic ware and bricks, sandstone quarries for construction, and eventually sub-division and residential development.

The Rozelle Bay Community Native Nursery, works to reintroduce Local Provenance species. Local Provenance species are those which have adapted to a particular area's climate, rainfall patterns, salt water innundation, sunlight, soil, birds, animals and insects. The purpose built nursery located in Wisdom Street Annandale, features recycled ironbark timber from the old Pyrmont Bridge, perhaps from an ironbark tree that grew in Annandale.

Bibliography

The information in the Inner West Species list has been compiled from a number of sources.

Annandale NSW was historically bounded by Rozelle Bay (Port Jackson/Sydney Harbour), Parramatta Road, Johnston's Creek and White's Creek. However, in 1995, the Annandale boundary was extended across Johnston's Creek to include the part of Camperdown, bounded by Booth Street, Mallet Street and Parramatta Road.
