What makes it 66% Kids-Friendly: Children up to 12 can explore colourful plants and a kid-themed garden shop, yet supervision is required around ponds and there is no playground or interactive program.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: A few hours let you explore plants, play a scavenger hunt and enjoy a café break without rushing.
Plant Explorer Walk:
Let kids touch leaves, spot flowers and count pots as you stroll the nursery paddocks.
Tip: Follow paved aisles to keep kids close and point out colourful blooms to spark curiosity.
DIY Scavenger Hunt:
Turn browsing into a game by finding items like a purple flower or a water fountain.
Tip: Write a simple list before you go and reward kids with a sticker or small treat for each find.
Kids Range Shopping:
Browse mini watering cans, fairy-garden kits and animal-shaped planters in the dedicated section.
Tip: Set a budget of AUD 15–20 per child to let them choose one special garden accessory.
Family Café Break:
Refuel at Doncho’s Café with indoor and outdoor seating, toasties and smoothies.
Tip: Order a mix of adults’ coffees and kids’ toasties; ask staff about high-chair availability.

Bought many great plants this year and the staff are lovely but a frangipani I paid a fair bit for was just a big cutting with almost no root system and still developing its roots so not happy feel a bit ripped off with this one. I know because when I replanted it slipped out of the soil with only a few strings of roots and now it’s still has no leaves just spikes.

I recently came across and fell instantly in love with a Rose called Pierre de Ronsard. I googled and found Virginia nursery SA has them. I want to talk about a person who went OVER & ABOVE in so many ways. His name is MARK . Mark processes a quiet confidence together with a wealth of knowledge on Roses.

Wow what a very busy place, no matter what time or day you go . They have everything you could possibly want for the garden. Allow a couple of hours to walk round the place. There is every colour, size and shape of plant. Good job there are trolleys, as it is so hard to pick. The staff are very helpful and spend a lot of time getting the product that is right for your garden. There is a gift shop...

Beautifully set out, large nursery with a wide variety of outdoor and indoor plants and pots. Plenty of parking with rows of trees. I visited in winter but would love to see the display of flowers on the Crepe Myrtles in the carpark during summer.

Lots of variety, and lots of options. Good sound advice from the friendly staff. The cafe and gift shop has been a great addition over the years. Plenty from indoors to shaded or outdoor plants and accessories. Very fitting for a nursery in a horticultural area. Toilets are kept clean. Ample parking for car or trailer too.
In summer go early or late to avoid midday heat; in spring see peak blooms and seedling sales; in winter pair a crisp air visit with a warm drink at the café.
