roraima nursery and gardens, lara

*Owners Lyle and Cheryl are winding down the business over the next year or so, but it is still open and also selling stock at great prices. Come and check this place out before its gone.

So, this ain't your average nursery....this place is like a magical jungle full of the weird and the wonderful - exotic plants, hidden treasures and artworks are at every turn.  Owners Lyle and Cheryl took over this nursery in 2001 and have created something VERY special here - one minute you'll be checking the price of a succulent and the next you are face to face with a Raptor!  

The nursery part alone is fantastic to just meander through the paths and check out the plants, and art, AND abundance of crystals. Be sure to keep a look out for the dino and the anaconda…and can you see the crocodile hiding in the pond where the dolphins are?!

There is also an AMAZING display garden if you follow the path around the back of the nursery - it is full of weird, wacky and stunning cacti, palms, rocks, crystals and industrial artifacts plus a few lovely spots to sit and take it all in.  

There is so much to see in here (can you find the turtle on the bank of the river? Or the koalas in the tree? Oh and the BATS - real ones…!) and the path takes you on a magical journey through this wonderful creation that feels like a secret land that has been here forever.

Mamma says you will feel like you are in another world! This place is a MUST SEE!
