Expert Gardening Tips and Tricks for Hobart Gardens

Gardening in Hobart, TAS, comes with its own unique challenges – and plenty of rewards. With the right approach, your garden can thrive in every season. Here are some expert tips from our Hobart nursery team:

  • Embrace Native Plants – Tasmanian natives are hardy, low-maintenance, and attract local birds and pollinators.
  • Know Your Microclimate – Hobart gardens vary greatly. Pay attention to sun, shade, and wind exposure in your space.
  • Soil Matters Most – Healthy soil is the foundation of any garden. Improve it with compost, organic matter, and quality mulches.
  • Water Wisely – Deep, consistent watering encourages strong root growth and reduces stress during dry spells.

Frequently Asked Questions at Our Nursery in Hobart, TAS

  • What Are the Best Native Plants for a Hobart Garden?

    For a thriving, low-maintenance garden suited to our climate, we highly recommend native plants. Excellent choices include Grevilleas for stunning red flowers, various Correa species for their bell-shaped blooms that attract birds, and hardy Callistemon, Leptospermum. 

  • How Often Should I Water My Vegetable Garden in Summer?

    Watering needs depend on your soil type and weather, but a general rule for summer is deep watering 2-3 times per week rather than a daily light sprinkle. The goal is to moisten the soil to a depth of at least 15-20cm. Always check the soil moisture with your finger first. Mulching heavily with straw or sugar cane mulch is essential as it conserves moisture, suppresses weeds, and keeps roots cool. 

  • What is the Best Time of Year to Plant New Trees?

    The ideal time for planting most trees in Hobart is during the autumn and early winter months. The soil is still warm from summer, which encourages root establishment, and the cooler air reduces transplant shock and water stress. This gives the tree a full season to develop a strong root system before the heat and dryness of the next summer arrive. 

  • Do You Offer Advice on Plant Diseases and Pests?

    Absolutely. Our knowledgeable team is here to help you diagnose and treat common garden pests and diseases using effective methods. We encourage integrated pest management, starting with the least toxic options. Bring in a photo or a sample of the affected plant (in a sealed bag), and we can recommend targeted organic or conventional solutions available for purchase at our nursery in Hobart, TAS.
