Bili Nursery summer hours
From Nov to end Feb, Bili Nursery retail will only trade on Fridays – 10am to 4pm or by appointment (phone 9645 2477). Saturday retail will resume in March.
Here’s why:
- The hot, dry conditions in Melbourne in late spring/summer mean there is less moisture in the soil to establish plants
- Our production cycle is timed to peak in winter as that’s when most contractors are putting plants in the ground
- By summer, we have very few plants left to sell
So at this time of the year, we are often out collecting seed and our focus turns to propagating so we can start the cycle all over again!
We are still open during the week for volunteers to help us during this busy propagation time. Register here for nursery volunteering.
