Description of Business:
The sale of this busy and well known Garden Centre represents an excellent opportunity to purchase an extensive freehold package with enormous potential.

- The nursery currently has 2 separate sales areas, 2 toilets, office & display area. There are a number of areas for shade growing (water by submersible bore) and the clivia growing area has 5 large and 7 lower reticulated tunnels.

This business would be ideal for an extended family. There is sufficient room for a large family to live on site and there are a number of options here in regards to how the business can be used. A new owner could continue to run the nursery business as is and could expand into bulk soils, mulches, potting mixes & manures to increase the returns. Approval was previously obtained for this and would need to be renewed. Other niche markets could be introduced; growing topiarys, bonsais or tomatoes.
There may also be the option to purchase the patio business. The large parcel of unused land could be used for future development. Surrounding the current site are new developments to the north and east as well as being surrounded by 3 large residential suburbs. A planned private college is also due for construction. Vacant land is becoming scarce in the immediate area.
