Could you tell us a bit about the history of the nursery? The roots of All Green Nursery & Garden can be traced all the way back to 1979 in Sam and Gianna Fragapane’s home backyard. They began a small nursery out of a garden shed, which eventually grew to over two hectares. We continue to be a family run business that now encompasses three generations and has a team of over 100 employees. For over 40 years, our family business has flourished, providing the local community with lush plant life, landscaping and gardening supplies, and unparalleled service.
What is your stock range? Our retail centre at Hoppers Crossing displays home décor from pots and indoor plants to garden maintenance products. The dedicated nursery team are qualified, expert horticulturists who grow and maintain our wide variety of plants, from natives and fruit trees to exotics and edible gardens, just to name a few. For the indoor plant obsessed, we supply a large variety of on trend, lush plants in our indoor jungle.
We also supply a wide range of gardening materials which include mulch, sand, soil, rocks and firewood, as well as products such as Lilydale Instant Turf and FormBoss. But it is not only gardening and landscaping we take care of, we also service the building industry by supplying Cement Australia products, tools and beyond.
