Hills District Orchids hold four seasonal Open Days throughout the year. These have proved very popular for both orchid enthusiasts and general plant lovers for filling the niche that has been left after the closure of several previous full-time retail specialist nurseries in the Sydney Region. The informal atmosphere provides an ideal opportunity to discuss and purchase plants and observe first-hand their growing conditions. There are numerous experts on hand to provide advice and answer any orchid & plant-related questions.
As there is no parking at the nursery, please park in either Mary Street or Windermere Avenue. It’s only a very short walk past a few houses. Windsor Road is also on the main bus route between Parramatta and Baulkham Hills/Castle Hill. Westbus Operate from Parramatta railway station.

Breeders of a full range of colours and styles of the latest elite showbench style forms of Clivia miniata. Our Clivia seed is in demand around the world. David Banks has spoken within Australia and also New Zealand and the United States of America on hybridising, judging and cultivating clivias. He has been breeding clivias for over two decades and has produced many prize and award winning plants, as well as superior cultivars for the garden. His collection is regarded as one of (if not the) most complete and diverse inventories of clivias in Australia. Over 90% of his plants he has grown from seed, and over half of these being of plants he bred himself. That’s why such a high percentage of these clivias are not available elsewhere.
