Welcome to Taree's Family-Owned Nursery
Some things in horticulture don't change: quality propagation, proper acclimatisation, and the knowledge that comes from thirty years of getting your hands dirty. At Plantastic Nursery, we combine that heritage understanding with modern growing practices that deliver what Manning Valley landscapers need and what local gardeners want.
Jason Reddel started in the nursery trade at fourteen, completed his horticultural qualifications at TAFE, and spent decades working in production nurseries from Sydney to the Manning Valley. When the opportunity came to establish Plantastic at the old Hickmans site on Wingham Road, it meant bringing professional-grade stock and grower-direct pricing to the region's trade and retail customers alike.
Whether you're specifying plants for a commercial landscape project in Taree, stocking a development in Port Macquarie, or choosing a feature tree for your Wingham patio, you'll find the same thing here: well-grown plants, straight answers, and pricing that respects your budget.
What Makes Plantastic Different?
Retail Garden Centre
Our Nursery on Wingham Road is a place to wander around and explore what you could do - both inside and outside of your home. Gardeners get the same quality stock as commercial projects, plus expert advice on matching plants to the Manning Valley's specific conditions. Whether you're selecting indoor plants, native screening, or the right container for your patio, you're dealing with a qualified horticulturalist who's spent 30 years growing plants professionally, has a passion for the horticulture industry, and family that lives locally and works in the nursery.
Bulk Pricing for Larger Projects
Plantastic Nursery understands that everyone sometimes needs to buy in larger quantities. Whether you're a home gardener building an orchard, or a landscaper ordering bulk stock for commercial projects, volume and economy matters. We make sure that everyone gets the same quality stock. Everyone gets honest answers about plant performance and realistic care expectations. The scale of purchase changes; the standard of service doesn't. Bulk pricing applies to anyone undertaking larger projects, no credentials required.
