Presti Nursery

Presti Nursery is such a cute little nursery. It’s right around the corner from my house and I enjoy my visits there very much. It’s family owned and managed and Mr and Mrs Presti love plants.
Nothing beats the feeling of supporting independent business.

Presti Nursery is a little-​known gem of a place on Ferntree Gully Road. Tucked away amongst a strip of houses most people drive past and miss out on the great service available there.
It is run by people who absolutely adore their jobs. The owner was quite old when I was regularly going there about ten years ago and I went today and he was still there — zooming around in his electric wheelchair. There is nothing that will separate him from his nursery and his enthusiasm is catching.
Customer service here is amazing and any question you have related to gardening will be answered in detail with 100% surety by the staff. They have been in business for years and years and it is clear to see why. The signage hasn’t been replaced or updated for quite a few years and is looking pretty worn but don’t let that deter you.
There is a huge range of plants and seedlings available as well as all the essential fertilizers, rodent pesticides and weed killers. Their plants have always been good value and have always done well when I have followed the planting and care directions provided for each.
This nursery is a great business to visit — and I would go there simply for the encouraging atmosphere, let alone the great prices. Check them out.
