ANZA Nursery &Garden Centre

On the corner of Anzac Avenue and Margherita Close, a family has run this nursery for more than twenty-five years, building it into what an industry accreditation body and local reviewers both call the premier garden centre on the Atherton Tablelands. The benches carry the district's largest range of flower, herb and vegetable seedlings, alongside fruit trees, succulents and plants suited to Far North Queensland's climate, plus a garden consultancy service for anyone planning a new bed or orchard. Reviewers single out the staff's plant knowledge — one recent visitor praised the advice on citrus varieties, another noted the range on offer for what is, in the end, a small-town garden centre. It is an accredited, award-winning operation, the sort of independent nursery plenty of small towns have lost to highway hardware chains. Open seven days, 8am to 5pm. A practical stop for Tablelands gardeners restocking seedlings or fruit trees, and a genuine local institution rather than a passing trade.
