Local nursery celebrates big win

November 16, 2010

Birdwood Nursery is celebrating taking home three awards at the prestigious 2011 Nursery & Garden Industry Queensland Awards held in Brisbane last weekend, including the highly coveted Best Large Production Nursery.

This is the second year running the Woombye-based nursery has won the major gong and this year they also added the Environmental and Marketing Awards to their collection.

“We are very proud to be recognised within our industry across these various categories and believe our dedication to delivering quality product, on time whilst maintaining our environmental responsibility is reflected in these awards,” said Rory Cullinan, General Manager of Birdwood Nursery.

“We look forward to representing Queensland in the national awards and would like to thank our team for their commitment to delivering excellence across the business. We really couldn’t have achieved this without them.”

Winners of the state awards will go on to compete in the 2010 Nursery & Garden Industry National Awards in April next year where Birdwood Nursery hopes to take home the national title in which they were runners-up last year.

The nursery employs over 50 Sunshine Coast residents and specialises in fruit tree production including avocados, mangos, passionfruit, kiwifruit and citrus. They supply commercial growers and retail nurseries throughout Australia and are looking to expand into export markets.
