Terrace Outdoor Living doesn’t just provide you with plants — it’ll help design your entire courtyard garden. No longer just an online plant shop, the Woollahra shopfront sells everything you need to make your backyard your own inner-city oasis.

What Newtown Garden Market lacks in size, it more than makes up for in charm. Also, its selection of plants includes everything from orchids to cacti. You can nab a whole lot of natives and textured pots, plus a heap of herbs and fruits that you can grow yourself.

This huge 1100-square-metre warehouse nursery on the Princes Highway is your go-to for plants and pots in Sydney. Garden Life specialises in high-end plants, and is frequented by professional designers and landscape architects.

Heathcote’s Sydney Wildflower Nursery offers possibly the largest array of Australian natives in Greater Sydney. It’s got flannel flower, woolly bush, kangaroo paw and copper tops — and that’s just to name a few.

This family-run Sydney nursery has been in operation for over 30 years and is a go-to for Annandale locals. As well as plenty of natives, the Booth Street shop also stocks exotic shrubs, trees and tropical plants from around the country. 

Take a quick scroll through Instagram, and you’re likely to uncover greenery decorating almost every home. And, you’ll notice potted plants making apartments and courtyards feel leafy and peaceful, and also adding extra zen.

If you’re looking for greenery, one of your first ports of call should be your local council nursery. The Randwick Community outpost is interested in filling your garden with plants that are endemic to the local area.
