This website is divided into two main menus

• Mail Order Plants - for customers who wish to purchase plants for shipment bare root through Australia Post
• Click & Collect Plants - for customers who wish to physically come up to the Nursery at Pine Mountain and collect plants in pots as well as bulk purchases of young plants as detailed in the Mail order Menu.

Gardeners and collectors in ACT, Queensland, NSW, Victoria and SA can order from the convenience of your home in the confidence that this is a secure website and Australia Post will deliver your plants safely with a tracking number.

All plants sent by mail order are bare root, that is, no soil. Orders are dispatched every Monday so they are generally received in the same week of dispatch. On dispatch a tracking number is emailed so the order can be traced with confidence.

A flat rate delivery charge applies on all regular postal deliveries of $14.95 for parcels up to what Australia Post calls large size (up to 5kg). Information on estimated shipping times can be found under "shipping and delivery times".

Potted Plants Click & Collect – Ipswich, Brisbane & Southeast Queensland

Welcome to the Pine Mountain Nursery gate pickup service. While interstate biosecurity laws prevent us from shipping potted soil across Australia without incurring significant on-costs, we love supplying our local Ipswich, Brisbane, and Southeast Queensland gardening community with fully grown, potted varieties.

 Skip the mail-order shipping times and collect your next sun-loving and shade-loving plants directly from our nursery gate in Pine Mountain, QLD 4306.

 How It Works

 1.       Place Your Order Online

Browse our online shop and add your chosen potted plants to your cart. During checkout, please pay for your items and select "Local Pickup / Click & Collect" as your delivery method. This will automatically remove all shipping fees from your order. 

 If you wish to purchase further plants when collecting your order, please be aware that we are located on the outer fringes of mobile reception and reception is poor and often fails. To avoid disappointment, bring cash. 

2.        Wait for Your Confirmation Email

Our nursery team will carefully select, prepare, and pack your potted plants. Once your order is ready at the gate, we will send you an "Order Ready for Pickup" email, which will include our full gate address and contact details and possible times when pick-up is available.

 3.       Advise when Pickup is to occur

It is important to confirm an approximate time when pick up would occur because Pine Mountain Nursery is not a retail nursery and there are only limited opportunities to pick up.

 4.       Pickup

Drive out to our beautiful Pine Mountain location to collect your items.

Pickup Location: 416-454 Russells Rd, Pine Mountain, QLD 4306. Ph 0409277790.

Pickup Window: Monday to Thursday between 9:00 am and 3:00 am. Saturday between 8.00am and 11.00am.  Other times by mutual agreement. 

Important Pickup Guidelines

Potted Plants Only: Our potted plant range is strictly for gate pickup and cannot be

sent via Australia Post.

Appointment Only: To ensure our team is available to assist you, please do not travel

to the nursery until you have received your official "Order Ready" notification.

Bring a Suitable Vehicle: Please ensure your boot or backseat has enough space to

transport upright potted plants safely back to your garden.

Visitation: We are not open to the public except via pre-ordered pickups

 Local Attractions to visit

Watercress Creek Olives & Limes: 5 minutes away and grows three different varieties of olives with over 1,000 olive trees and 800 Tahitian Lime trees. Olive products, picnic packs, platters, lime cordial, chutneys and jams are available via Click & Collect.  See https://www.watercresscreekolivesandlimes.com.au

 Kholo Gardens: 10 minutes away is a peaceful nature retreat at Pine Mountain, located at 243 Riverside Drive. Wander lush gardens, enjoy open green spaces, spot birdlife and explore walking tracks including Tree Fern Lane and Coal Creek Walk. With picnic areas, barbecues and public toilets, it’s a beautiful place to slow down and spend time outdoors.

The nursery is a commercial production nursery and it not open to the general public at large. A limitied number of visitors may by prior appointment visit the nursery and purchase flowering clivia plants during the month of September. Best week to maximise seeing the flowering range is towards the end of the second week of September. Contact us for further details.

www.bestclivias.com.au has been created to offer rare or elite clivia for sale to collectors. Germinating seed is one way to build a clivia collection but seedlings are like children, they all end up different but may have some common traits. By providing access to flowering plants, customers know exactly what they are buying and can build a unique collection of flowering clivia. All the hard work in selection and growing them up to flowering has been done.

For most of the year there will be very little on this site. We start adding plants in flower from August through to mid- October each year. They can be purchased and either picked up at the nursery or for the cost of postage and packing sent bare root through Australia Post.

Last date in 2026 for mail orders is Sunday 13 December to ensure the plants are received before Christmas. Mail order deliveries will resume on Monday 4th January 2027. Any orders received during the Christmas and New Year period will not be processed until 4January 2027.
