Southern Woods is proud to be part of the Selwyn
community for over a generation.
Southern Woods Nursery, located near Lincoln,
Prebbleton, West Melton and Rolleston, has become a
local hub for all things plants.
Selwyn home owners are lucky to virtually have
everything they need to beautify and extend their gardens
right on their doorstep and a visit to Southern Woods can
provide plenty of inspiration - and expert advice.
“Many of our staff live nearby which means that have
an understanding of which plants suit your property’s
location, soil type and aspect,” says Business
Development Manager Rico Mannall. “Selwyn is a diverse
district, with plenty of tricky planting sites.”
“It’s been challenging keeping up this year, we really
appreciate the support from all our customers,” Rico says.
“Our ‘local’ commitment extends to sourcing from Selwyn
suppliers and businesses where we can.”
The purpose-built retail store is filled with a huge range
of options for ground cover, hedging, deciduous trees,
bushes and grasses, along with spots of colour to add
focus.
Millions of plants are grown on site and looked after by
the team of 50 dedicated staff who are on hand to help
and provide free advice based on their many years in the
business. With short supplies across some species this
year, they can also recommend great substitute plants, or
help with pre-orders for 2022.
If you are unsure exactly what you are looking for, a team
of landscape architects can help make your selection
even easier. Another option is to take in your existing
landsacpe plans and they can help with sourcing and
suitabiliity.

Spring planting tips
Spring is the one of the best planting seasons. This time
of year is an ideal time to plant most species, if they’re
still in stock this season!
Preparation is everything
Remember to prepare your soil before planting. Mix in
plenty of compost and gypsum for best results.
Protect from pests and diseases
Pests and diseases thrive as your garden grows.
Use Neem granules and oil to help ward off any nasties.
It’s the perfect time to mulch
Keeps the moisture in and the weeds out. See our friends at
Intelligro for great advice and mulch supply.
A great time to fertilise
As plants re-enter their growth phase, they need lots of
nutrition. We recommend Grotabs slow release fertiliser and
Yates Thrive Liquid Fish & Seaweed.
