West Australian, NT & Tasmanian Orders

These states have strict quarantine protocols in place. All have inspection procedures in place at both ends. Please note you do nothing… we do all the work and payments. These order are intended to be sent on the following day:

Western Australia, Northern Territory & Tasmania Sending Date
Monday 29th April, We need your order by 2.00 PM Monday 22nd April, QLD time before this date as we go through an intricate Quarantine Inspection process & need to do this in one batch to make the process feasible. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON WA, TAS. & NT ORDERS ……………PLEASE GO TO THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS CATALOGUE AND THE FAQ’s.

Your Plants

Payment Options

Happy Plants & Happy You.

1. There are millions of plant species and every plant has its own requirements for light, sun, moisture, nutrients, space and propagation. This is what makes living with plants so fascinating.
2. Look after them and they will give you food, shelter, fuel, oxygen, beauty, fragrance and a beautiful environment that we and all the other animals & species need to survive.
3. People cannot be happy unless out in nature. Thats because we are natural beings….just a part of nature.. Notice how those confined inside become stressed and anxious.

Wishing Happiness

Try saying this silently to everyone and everything you see for thirty days: “I wish you happiness now and whatever will bring happiness to you in the future.” If we said it to the sky, we would have to stop polluting; if we said it when we see ponds and lakes and streams, we would have to stop using them as garbage dumps and sewers; if we said it to small children, we would have to stop abusing them, even in the name of training; if we said it to people, we would have to stop stoking the fires of enmity around us. Beauty and human warmth would take root in us like a clear, hot day. We would change.
……Joan Chittister

TRUE LIES

SACRIFICIAL BEER & COST CUTTING
Last week a truckie brought in a load of mulch for our landscaping and while having smoko related this story which we did not think a bit funny.
‘I don’t understand’ said Mick. ‘-”After our last child was born, she told me we had to cut back on expenses – I had to give up drinking beer. I was not a big drinker, maybe a carton on weekends. Anyway, I gave it up but I noticed the other day when she came home from grocery shopping the receipt included $45 in makeup. I said, “Wait a minute I’ve given up beer and you haven’t given up anything!” She said, “I buy that makeup for you, so I can look pretty for you.” I told her, “rack off, that’s what the beer was for!”

Now look at this. This is why the Green Parties have really lost the plot.
…..No Environmental Impact Statement Necessary for Wind Farms etc!…..

Gutless Green Parties Endorse Environmental Destruction
The destruction of our forests, landscapes and wildlife by extremely ugly, damaging and non recyclable solar wind farms ,solar panels and new transmission lines does not require an Environmental Impact Statement.
These eyesores on our countryside will be an environmental disaster in 10 years when they are dumped and need replacing. If you regard yourself as Green please get the Politicians you support to get back on track and support your environment.

IT’S UP TO THE PLANT LOVERS TO KEEP ON PLANTING!

The only proven way to improve earths climate and nature in general is to nurture more plants for food and building materials but especially for our wildlife and our own natural well being. Then we will turn deserts to forests, create timber and food, increase rainfall and humidity and provide wildlife habitat. And hopefully pacify the Anxious to bring them Peace.

Plant Quarantine….What we have to do to carry out the Plant Quarantine Protocol for WA, Tasmania and NT.

* We have to hold the plants in a dedicated quarantine area but its not how long they are held that matters …its the specified treatment and a lot more.
* All plants are sent in their pots in a soiless potting mix.
* We get permission to send the plants from WA, Tas and NT. Plants must be identified with their correct botanical names.
* All plants are sprayed and dipped wuth the approved chemicals
* Plant Health Certificates are prepared for signing by the Authorised Officers
* All plants are inspected for certain pests and diseases important to the receiving States by the Qld .Dept of Agriculture who sign off on the documents.
*We then prepare the plants for sending so they have moisture and and are protected in transit. Then we pack the plants into cartons.
* The cartons are sent by overnight Air Freight.
PS We also do this Quarantine Protocol for other Growers and the details are listed in the Concierge Quarantine Hub.

INTERSTATE CONCIERGE QUARANTINE SERVICE

Plants cannot simply be sent into Western Australia, Northern Territory or Tasmania without satisfying the protocols of the particular Depts of Agriculture.
We have been providing a Concierge/Quarantine Service for Interstate Plants for a couple of years now. Clients from Western Australia, Northern Territory or Tasmania who want specific plants we do not have here… simply get those plants sent to us and we repot and label them, hold them till our next 3 weekly send out date, treat them with insecticides and fungicides as required, do all the necessary paperwork and then repackage and send out Courier by Air Express. This is an expensive process when you add in the freight and government fees. If you require further information go to our Concierge Hub on our website.

Mrytle Rust Alert now affects some plants into the NT & SA, Tas as well as WA…..which means we cannot sent plants from Family Myrtacea to these states. Restrictions will soon be lifted in Victoria as Myrtle Rust has been found in 60 locations. In reality it has probably been around Australia the last 100 years but it needs a very wet year to be noticeable.

…WA & SA, Tas & NT Customers….

There is an very old alert for Myrtle Rust still standing in WA & NT the following potential host genus are not allowed entry for probably an extended period:
Austromyrtus, Callistemon, Eugenia, Feijoa, Kunzea, Leptospermum, Melaleuca, Myrciaria, Psidium, Syzygium, Xanthostemon, Rhodomyrtus.
These are the plants that may appear in our catalogue & is not the complete list. The complete list includes all the Family Myrtaceae. It was hoped this would be a short term measure…..but the authorities are in no rush to take action that would lead to lift the restriction.

There are other plants that are not permitted into WA for various reasons. We get all our plants approved by the State Dept of Agricultures when sending.

Here are a few more for your information.

Euphorbia species, Citrus species, Microcitrus species, Hibiscus species, Azalea species, Feijoa species, Vaccinium species Blueberry, Rhododendron, Vireya.
