We went from garden center to garden store this weekend and Lilydale was the only place we found everything we wanted! Plants look healthy and green. Plenty to chose from. I could meander through the walkways for hours. Unique plants, trees, shrubs.they have it all. Prices are higher than others, slightly, but worth it for good plants!

Great little place for plants, pots and plant needs. They have some hard to find plants at really awesome prices. And don't forget to say hi to the kitty that wanders around :

Little "hole in the wall" garden store. Worth the stop! While some plants might be higher priced than their Big Box equivalents, the condition of said plants makes them worth the price! Their fuchsias looked gorgeous and were in a protected greenhouse. in much better shape than ones I've seen at other stores that were in a sorry state after being left out in the cold. They had a great selection of annuals in the greenhouse, and very competitive pricing on the starter flats. Staff was both friendly & knowledgeable, which is a rare trait in garden store employees, I've found. I will be back!
