Rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale wholesale production nursery. Operating under management with long trading history, strong industry relevance & a substantial established retail supply relationship.
Trading as Plant Growers Australia (PGA), this is one of Australia's larger vertically integrated wholesale plant propagation & production nurseries, built over decades on strong genetics, proprietary systems and long-term customer relationships. Operating under an established management team across two freehold properties, the business propagates, grows & supplies more than 300 native & exotic ornamental plant varieties to retailers, landscapers, home gardeners & other wholesale growers nationally.
With circa $15 million in annual turnover, consistent profitability & freehold land included in the sale price, this is a well-established platform offering genuine growth upside in a large, fragmented, high-demand industry.
Why This Business Stands Out
- Under management: Run by an established management team, giving a new owner a proven operating structure from day one.
- Strong financials: ~$15m in annual turnover and ~$1.9m in net profit.
- Long trading history: A well-established, multi-decade presence in the Australian nursery sector, with long-standing customer relationships.
- Scale and capability: Approx. 100,000 cuttings propagated weekly, with roughly two million finished plants & one million plugs and tubes produced annually. Capacity exists to scale to around four million units.
- Proprietary genetics: An in-house breeding program has produced more than 80 exclusive plant varieties and several branded, recognised collections
- Licensed import & export facility: Enables sourcing of new international genetics and distribution of Australian-developed varieties into overseas markets.
- Operational IP: Purpose-built proprietary software runs administration, production planning, ordering & dispatch across both sites. Difficult for a new entrant to replicate quickly.
- Sustainability credentials: Integrated water reuse system has cut mains water use by ~90%, alongside solar power and a pest management program that has reduced chemical use.
- Freehold property included: 2 sites totalling ~30 acres, comprising propagation, processing & administration facilities plus significant growing grounds & a 3-bedroom residence
Growth Opportunities for a Buyer
Immediate upside includes scaling propagation output, expanding into the landscaping plant market, complementary bolt-on acquisitions & international commercialising the breeding portfolio.
