Helping people help our local environment

Our goal is to help people help our local environment by growing and planting indigenous plants.

We are a community-based not-for-profit association that grows and sells high quality, low cost, local native plants from the Maroondah, Manningham, Yarra Ranges and surrounding council areas.

Our objective is to support the conservation and enhancement of our local biodiversity assets, using indigenous plants to provide habitat for our precious native wildlife.

From humble beginnings in a Bayswater North suburban backyard in 1993, Candlebark has been growing indigenous plants for councils, community organisations, schools, public authorities, bushland reserves and friends groups, as well as supporting many community based environmental projects.

We are open to the public for wholesale and retail sales:

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm.

Wholesale and other times by appointment only. Please call (03) 9727 0594 or email info@candlebark.org.au to arrange.

Our plants complement any landscape design theme. Being well adapted to local environmental conditions, indigenous tubestock are easy to plant, quick to establish and cost effective for any revegetation or landscaping requirements.  Our plants are great for traditional gardens, bush and cottage gardens, and even native lawns.
