Landcare, school plantings, and council giveaways; and small scale sales to the
local community. The Nursery has a small bush garden, a Green and Golden Bell

Marrickville Community Nursery is a non-profit venture
operated with the support of Marrickville Council, and hard working volunteers, and the council has its own website with more details here.
Volunteers to assist with all aspects of nursery work are most welcome. The
Nursery is open for plant sales and general enquires every Wednesday from 10 am
to 12 noon and the first Saturday of every month between 10 am and 1 pm. We
stock a range of native plants including banksias, acacias, hardenbergias, and
native grasses.

Our aim is to help bring native plants back into the Cooks River
Valley and encourage
wildlife back into our suburbs.
