native nursery

The Barung Landcare native plant nursery supplies plants for use in revegetation and native gardens. We grow plant species which occur naturally in the forests of the Sunshine Coast. Our nurseries are run by a small team of staff with a dedicated team of volunteers. We  supply a diverse range of quality plants to Barung members and the local community with capacity to supply large regional revegetation projects.

Established in the Hinterland township of Maleny, the Barung Landcare native plant nursery is renowned for growing local rainforest species and has made a significant and ongoing contribution to the restoration and conservation of the regions wonderfully diverse rainforests.

We also propagate a range of other local native species for ecosystems found across the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, visit the Maleny Community Nursery on Parklands Drive to see what is on offer, or download the monthly stock list to see what’s seasonally available.

projects we've supported

Long time Barung members Di and Ian have been revegetating their property on the Blackall Range for 20 years and have planted some 30,000 trees mostly supplied by Barung. "It’s a joy to walk around the nursery picking out our trusty favourites and discovering new gems we can add to the forest. Quality, quantity and diversity, it’s just brilliant"
Di and Ian
local landholders
On the slopes above the Northern Precinct wetlands in Maleny is a forest that was planted in 2011/12 with plants grown by Barung Landcare. 40,000 tubes were planted as part of Maleny’s wastewater management. Treated wastewater is irrigated through the forest to slowly seep into ground water. Today, some trees are 8m high and the canopy is closing. This is a great example where quality grown tubestock contributes to the success of a local natural resource management project.
