Lygon St Nursery

An indoor plant shop and outdoor nursery in one, this cheery Brunswick East spot is a plant-lover's dream. Owner Michael Khalil is a huge advocate for the positive effects of indoor plants on mental health and once you step through his jungle-like shopfront you'll have a hard time disagreeing. There's a plant and pot here to suit all shades of green thumb, every budget and any kind of house setting. A strong range of treatments, tools and potting mixes have been sourced from leading Aussie companies, and you'll find lots of locally crafted green-inspired goodies, including ceramic planters from Melbourne's own Chris Erlandsen Studio.
