    Seedlings to Specimens – We grow a wide range of plants in a number of grades, suitable for most planting projects & specifications.

    WORKING WITH YOU

    We'll Get You Growing.

    Southern Woods has been supplying plants to trade customers for over a generation. We’re committed to making the plant supply process as seamless as possible for you. For many customers, the process begins well before the planting date, here are a few things to think about for your next project: 
    • Lead-In Times. Particularly for contract grown crops, lead-in-times are an important consideration. For specific eco-sourced crops, this can be up to 24 months. 
    • Site preparation. Thorough site preparation is key to a successful planting. Think about weed control, nutrition, drainage, irrigation.
    • Planting season. For harsh sites in particular, planting in the right season may significantly improve your chances of success.
    • Collection or Delivery. Can you plant everything in one delivery? We often encourage trade customers to stage plantings to avoid plants sitting on site.
    • Post Planting Maintenance. Just as important as getting the plant in the ground, maintenance for the first 24 months post planting is often crucial to high survivability rates.
    Southern Woods has experience delivering plants to projects of immense scale and complexity, our knowledgeable sales team can help with advice for all of the above. Don’t just take our word for it though, click the button below for a look at our past projects.
