Able Nursery were approached by a company based in Brisbane who specialise in green-wall design and installation. As it was the ‘busy season’ for our industry, this company was looking to find a nursery who was capable of potting and supplying plants for the wall. When approached, the team at Able Nursery had very limited experience in potting and handling green-wall plants and potting media. After some thorough research and engaging with those familiar to the industry, we commenced a grow on program. 4 months later, Able Nursery supplied over 1000 green-wall plants for a unit block in Melbourne, Australia. The final results were stunning!
