Who We Are
Southern Dandenongs Community Nursery Inc. (SDCN) is a not-for-profit community nursery established in 1995 following the closure of the former Shire of Sherbrooke nursery at Upwey. In response, a group of local environmental advocates came together to form a community nursery focused on local native plants.
Located within the beautiful Birdsland Reserve, Belgrave Heights, our nursery grows plants sourced from local bushland for sale to the community, environmental contractors, councils and Landcare groups.
Our Vision
We aim to nurture stronger landscapes and healthier ecosystems by empowering the community with native plants, knowledge and connection to place.
What We Believe
Local plants grow better and support local wildlife
Community action strengthens environmental outcomes
Together we can protect and restore the natural beauty of the Southern Dandenongs
