The Fruity Gardener
Aden Lowe aka The Fruity Gardener has spent over a decade dedicated to growing you the best possible plants. He has developed The Fruity Gardener from the early beginnings as a small farmers market stall, into now a thriving nursery.
His passion is all things edible and is an expert on growing and caring for fruit trees. Over time the range has expanded into native trees, hedging, shrubs and ornamentals and we now offer a huge variety for any garden.
Come and have a chat. We are always happy and willing to discuss any gardening ideas and give suggestions.

Banana, Papaya, Pineapple? Yes you can grow them! We have a great range of rare and interesting tropical and subtropical plants for your garden.
They thrive in warm, sheltered and wet locations. Microclimates can be found or created. Once established they are low maintenance and look fantastic all year round.
