Services
Nielsen's Native Nursery is a family-operated business, proudly promoting the use of Australian native plants across South East Queensland. Our goal is to show how Australian natives can offer all of the colour and vibrancy of their international counterparts. With a little planning and helpful advice from our staff, you'll achieve a brilliant result that will truly revitalise your garden.
These are the plants designed for Australia! Australian native plants can thrive in a range of different climates and situations including frost, dry gardens, wet areas, full sun or shady areas. They can also produce stunning flowers and fruits that feed native birds and bees. Only some of our selection of Australian native plants can be viewed online, so come visit Nielsen's Native Nursery to browse a much wider range.
Nielsen's Native Nursery has the exotic plant species that will thrive in gardens throughout South East Queensland. From winters that bite to the humid heat of the summers, we have gathered together the exotic plants best suited for the region's conditions. As we only display some of our range online, visit our store in person to see what exotic species we can offer for your garden.
No matter how large or small your home seems, anyone can grow their own food. There is space even on the sunny side of the balcony! For food that is fresher, healthier, tastes better and is more sustainably made, nothing beats plucking your meal straight out of the ground. Though only a small selection of our fruit trees, herbs and vegetables are displayed online, visit Nielsen's Native Nursery in person to see the bounty we have to offer.
Transform your property into a stylish oasis with our selection of indoor plants! Indoor plants are the perfect solution for modern Australian living, as they don't need lots of light. On the contrary, many plants find our strong sunlight too harsh, and instead thrive in conditions of soft shade and dappled light.

I called Nielsens this morning looking for Plumeria Pudica. I was fortunate to find out they have them in stock and they put 2 aside for me to collect later on.
A beautiful nursery. Thanks for the help today

On arriving my family and I were browsing the shop. I turned around to see the distinguished female cashier, gesturing towards our direction, to the middle aged male worker. He looked myself up and down then steered at my husband then back at me, while I asked for assistance. He blankly steered at me and then continued to steer at my husband and I proceeded to ask if it was ok I ask for assistance. I am not sure if our physical appearance intimidated the cashier and then worker? But, it made me feel super awkward and judged. Although, after the initial interaction the male worker was a wealth of

Excellent, as usual. Lovely breakfast, tasty and plentiful. Bought mulch, dwarf flowering gum tree and old style windmill for a garden where our Kelpie of 12 years was recently buried. Tree and windmill added to the other native plants recently purchased for the garden from this nursery. Thanks Nielsen's.

I love the variety of plants this place has to offer. They even have a little cafe for you and an area full of pots for your plants. I actually found the "Baby Blue" Eucalyptus plant from them which I can never find in other plant shops so thank you!!

Love this place! We had coffees at the cafe (and got to meet the friendly lizards!), looked around at all the wonderful plants and trees, and then got to play with sharks and stingrays! Will be back here again soon to buy some great native plants, and maybe some more aquarium supplies!
