Welcome to the Apace Revegetation Nursery
The Apace Community Revegetation Nursery specialises in the supply of locally occurring species of the Swan Coastal Plain and Darling Range. Established in 1989, this was the first nursery in WA dedicated to supplying exclusively local native species for revegetation and landscaping projects throughout the Perth metropolitan region.
The nursery was also the first to grow and supply locally occurring rushes and sedges for wetland revegetation projects.
The nursery is accredited with the Nursery Industry Accreditation Scheme of Australia and all stock is grown under strict hygienic conditions. The nursery currently produces more than half a million plants and provides a selection of two hundred and sixty different species.
The nursery is open to the general public for native plant sales. Visitors can browse through our self-service section or get assistance from our experienced nursery staff 7.30am–4.30pm Monday to Friday.

Apace has continually promoted the use of local plants through the freely available Revegetation Guides of the Swan Coastal Plain and Darling Range, first published in 1992. To use these guides you need to first determine the vegetation complex [soil type] into which you will be planting. Follow these 3 Easy Steps:
- Use the map to locate the vegetation complex name for your area; or
- Check the suburb finder for your vegetation complex; then
If there is more than one vegetation complex in your suburb you will need to consult the map to determine which one is closest to your planting location - Consult the selected revegetation guide for species that are local to your area; and
If you want to find out more information on any species simply select that species
3 Easy Steps to Designing Your Garden
- When designing your garden first work out the tallest plants you want and where they will be placed. Do you want any trees (6metres+?) and how many. Do you want screening plants or large shrubs (2-4 metres). How many medium sized shrubs (2metres). Then work out the numbers of small shrubs, non woody plants, groundcovers and climbers that you need. You are now ready to select your local plant species.
- You can filter your catalogue by habit which will list your plants according to height under trees, shrubs, herbs (non woody plants) and climbers. This will make it easy for you to select the right plants for the location in your garden.
- Next you can sort your plants by flowering seasons to ensure that you have colour in the garden all year round. You can also sort your plant list according to species that inhabit wetlands, have some shade tolerance, bush tucker plants and bird and butterfly attracting plants for special features in your garden.
