Wombat Hill Nursery Wombat Hill Nursery is a local family business established in 1993. Quality general and seasonal stock at affordable prices.

Established in 1993, proprietors Jeff & Donna Thornycroft, foresaw the need to provide a nursery in a developing rural town that provided local knowledge about the adverse growing conditions in our area, supplying a large range of quality stock at affordable prices. And today, we still provide that same service. Over the past we have endured the hardships of drought & water restrictions. From the beginning we only stocked plants that would not only survive but thrive in our cool climate. We discovered in the early years after seven consecutive frosts (below 0 º) that frost tolerant plants had to be very frost hardy. Our Nursery is unique because of Daylesford’s changing seasons. Bulbs, Berries, Fruit & Ornamental Trees in Winter. The freshest range of locally grown vegetable & flower seedlings and a fabulous range of bulk Spring Flowering bulbs in Autumn. We also offer a full floral service with flowers and foliage fresh from local growers and the Melbourne Flower Market. We provide a professional and personalised service striving to meet the requirements of our customers. Whether it be for an anniversary, birth or your wedding day, we are here to help. But most importantly of all we offer honest, good advice for free.

Round two of the hydrangea have just arrived at the nursery after our first delivery flew out the door!

A few handy tips for all the hydrangea lovers:

• Light: Morning Sun/Afternoon shade - Hydrangeas love morning light, but protect them from the harsh afternoon sun.

• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist by watering drop at the base avoiding the flowers and foliage.

• Soil: Keep it rich, well drained and a layer of organic mulch will help keep their root system cool and hydrated.

• Feed: use a slow release bloom booster in Spring and skip heavy nitrogen based fertilisers so you get big flowers, not just big leaves.

There’s a common misconception that spring is the best time to plant but the secret is in the winter soil. Planting while dormant means your trees can focus all of their energy and root development, not leaf production.
The planting window is short and our stock is moving. Secure your selection today and give your trees the head start they deserve. 🌳

We call these ‘foundations for a lifetime’ because a tree is only as healthy as the roots it starts with. When you plant bare-root in winter, you aren’t just putting a plant in the ground, you’re allowing it to establish a natural, wide-reaching root system before it ever has to support a canopy of leaves. It’s the difference between a tree that just survives, and one that thrives for generations to come. 💪🫶🌳
