Boarding Service

Maintain or develop your trees over time with us on-site at our garden. Additionally, this boarding service is offered for short or long-term care while you are away, for over-wintering / or over-summering your tree in our cool-temperate climate of the Blue Mountains.

Boarding includes all watering, fertilisation and routine pest/disease management. Your tree will be housed in its ideal climatic conditions on the bench to suit the tree’s needs.

Billing is monthly.

Exhibition service

We provide expert preparation, transport, and set-up of trees and their displays on your behalf for shows on the East Coast. Exhibition preparation is not a styling, but rather a fine-tuning to make sure your tree is its most ready for presentation.

Preparation can also include advisory consultation of your complete exhibit, including accompanying elements such as stands and accent plants.

Table & Kusamono Rental

As part of our exhibition service, we offer rental of tables and accent plants for your exhibit.
