The Marrickville Community Nursery grows and sells local native plants which occur naturally in the Cooks River Valley area. The nursery’s aim is to help bring native plants back into the Cooks River Valley and encourage wildlife back into Marrickville and surrounding suburbs.

The nursery produces more than 10,000 plants a year, all propagated from seeds or cuttings collected from local remnants. The plants are grown for local revegetation projects by the local Landcare groups, schools, the Cooks River Foreshores Working Group and Marrickville Council.

It has a small bush garden, a Green and Golden Bell Frog pond and is an environmental education site for local schools and community groups. Marrickville Community Nursery is a non-profit venture operated with the support of Marrickville Council and hard working volunteers.
