Nursery celebrates milestone
ONE of the region’s longest established and leading garden centres is celebrating 68 years of operation.
Only a short drive from the Atherton Tablelands, local owners Ryan and Merodia Rodgers said Limberlost Nursery at Freshwater had an amazing array of plants and interesting pieces for the home, as well as a vibrant café in a garden setting.
“Limberlost is a great place to spend an hour or a day, enjoying beautiful surroundings, inspired by garden displays, immersed in a creative workshop or dining at Vines Café,” they said.
The business had become “a place where passion and plants and tropical living thrives”.
“Our mission is to create a beautiful natural experience and help bring customers a touch of it into their own living spaces,” they said.
“Limberlost is now a modern and inspirational garden retailer, where the professional and dedicated team brings enthusiasm and passion to the garden centre, showcasing interesting displays, local knowledge and experience and a diverse range of locally grown plants to inspire success in the garden.”
Limberlost has re-developed its vast production area, and grows a huge range of shrubs, trees, edibles and indoor plants that are suitable and acclimatised to the tropical northern climate.
Limberlost also features a raw materials yard, with premium landscape products to help locals complete their landscaping project successfully. The yard stocks an extensive selection of quality mulches, garden mixes, sands, pebbles, stone, potting mix and raw materials.
The Old Smithfield Road property across from the Freshwater railway station, also includes Vines Café, a vibrant café setting offering breakfast and lunch in the beautiful Limberlost setting.
“Serving excellent food, decadent house-made cakes and world class coffee, Vines Café offers a truly enjoyable dining experience,” the couple said.
