7 months agoFantastic staff. So helpful and spent ages helping me make the right choices. Take the time to find them as worth the visit. Even helped me pack car so got large plants home safe.

3 months agoWe lost a Standard Portuguese Laurel. It was one of six and needed a relatively mature replacement so it wouldn't look too out of place. After much looking around we ended up at Southern Woods Nursery. Southern Woods had the best selection and best option available. The team at Southern Woods were very friendly and helpful. We are very happy with the replacement Laurel and it looks great. There was ample parking, and the main shop building was impressive with a great selection of tools available too. On a subsequent dealing with Southern Woods their customer service was amazing. I definitely recommend Southern Woods and look forward to the next visit.

3 months agoWe had a fantastic experience sourcing plants from Southern Woods for our community based Preschool. The manager Alex was very helpful when choosing a selection of beautiful native plants that is suitable for our coastal location and that add interest to our space with different varieties, textures and heights. The nursery itself was impressive with a large variety of healthy plants and a passionate and knowledgeable team. We will definitely be choosing Southern Woods for any future planting!
