We’re here to supply the Sunshine Coast community with quality, affordable plants and gardening supplies and make a true difference.
Expert gardening advice
We carry a wide range of native plants, succulents, herbs, and seasonal blooms. Every seedling is ethically sourced and propagated with care to ensure they are acclimatised to the Sunshine Coast’s humid, subtropical weather. Our team is passionate about gardening and helping you find the best new plants for your home or garden and providing expert tips for ongoing care and growth.
Growing a brighter future
Every seedling, shrub and bag of soil purchased helps us provide workplace skills and training for our students living with disabilities and autism. In fact, they’ll be some of the faces you’ll see around the STEPS Garden Centre, helping you find the perfect additions to your garden.
We are a not-for-profit nursery in the heart of Caloundra, supporting a great cause: STEPS Pathways College.
