About Us

Woodland trees is a Melbourne based nursery that specialised in a range of local and exotic trees including: deciduous, oaks, conifers, evergreens and more.  Nick Brown directed Trentham Advanced Trees, a direct sale tree nursery, for ten years before moving to Melbourne in 2017.

In that role he and his teams grew a range of trees from grafted deciduous stock to conifers and perennials whilst also designing gardens in the district..

Since then he has worked for Lisa Ellis Gardens, a high-end design and install firm, before setting up his own business again.Plants of Gonwanan origin and those of the beech family like oaks are his speciality.
