Farmgate Natives is a production nursery located halfway between Murrumbateman and Gundaroo on Murrumbateman Road, a thirty minute drive from Canberra or Yass, and has been successfully producing plants since 2001 (previously as IDP Nursery).
The nursery (once operated and owned by Iris Philp and Alison Ubels) is now owned and operated by Alison Ubels. Alison is an horticulturist who is passionate about native flora. She has a background in retail nursery work and several years experience as a gardener in private gardens. Her garden in Murrumbateman is largely dedicated to hardy native plants.
The nursery produces hardy native Australian plants for the local environment. The plants are sold in sizes ranging from plugs and
tubestock to 140ml pots. Occasionally some 200ml pots are available. The plants are not molly coddled indoors but are hardened off ready for the harsh local conditions. Alison is willing and able to provide planting advise as required.
Plants are sold from the nursery and from the local growers collective plant sale at Cool Country Natives in Pialligo once a month in the warmer months. In this time of COVID 19 our other markets, biannually from the Australian Native Plant Society sale at Australian National Botanic Gardens, have been cancelled.
