Grow Wild - Purposefully Indigenous
Grow Wild has permanently closed. The website remains active because it has information about indigenous plants.
Grow Wild is a nursery specializing in the propagation of plants indigenous to Southern Africa.
We grow a wide variety of trees, shrubs, groundcovers, bulbs and aloes. If what you want is not available at Grow Wild we will try and source for you. Some of the plants listed are not suitable for cold Highveld gardens. Our emphasis is on hardy Highveld plants which will survive periods of drought as well as harsh winter temperatures.
The retail nursery at 102 Dunmaglass Road, Glenferness, Midrand is a tranquil environment under the canopy of indigenous trees, which is well stocked and has informative labeling.
We also supply wholesale plants to landscapers, schools and municipalities.
We welcome your visit or email us so that we can be of assistance to you. I have used The Illustrated Dictionary of Southern African Plant Names by Hugh Clarke and Michael Charters in the plant descriptions to see the derivation of the names. It makes interesting reading.
We are wheelchair accessible.
