Historic Yarralumla Nursery is the largest wholesale nursery in the southern tablelands, which has a socially inclusive team of approximately 30 staff. The Nursery propagates and grows over 300,000 cool climate plants annually from its own plant stock and seed bank including local, rare, and endangered species. We sell highquality plants to landscape, wholesale, and retail industries; Landcare groups; and local, state governments, as well, as the Australian Government.
Horticulture is the art and science of cultivating and maintaining plants, and at Yarralumla Nursery we love to experiment with new ways of doing things so that we can improve the quality of our stock. The Nursery has supported Floriade since its commencement. The first experimental Floriade plantings were undertaken at the nursery in 1987, and the learnings from those trials that tested which species grew well and what time of year they flowered informed the festival that we have today.

Streets ice cream was originally made in the back shed by Edwin (Ted) Street. He would then sell these to neighbours along with sweets, cakes and lemonade. Popularity grew and he soon used a cart, then a one horse-power motorbike to sell Streets ice cream. It continued to grow and today Streets ice cream is sold throughout Australia and New Zealand with well-known brands such as Magnum, Paddle Pop, Cornetto, Gaytime, Calippo and Blue Ribbon. We are proud members of RedCycle – , a recovery program for soft plastics. This means all our Streets soft plastic ice cream wrappers can be recycled at RedCycle drop off points. There are now more than 1,800 RedCycle drop off points in Coles and Woolworths stores around Australia. Research commissioned by Unilever and carried out by the UK Institute of Psychiatry has discovered that ice cream actually ‘lights up’ the brain’s pleasure zones. It appears from clinical trials that just one spoonful of ice cream brings a smile to the happy areas of the brain.
