Open Tuesdays and Fridays

The Native Plant Nursery
At the C4 Native Plant Nursery, we specialise in plants native to the Mission Beach area, offering a unique alternative to traditional nurseries. Instead of Roses and Rhododendrons, you’ll discover an array of local species like Ooray, Boodyarra, and Golden Penda, among many others. With over 200 varieties, our nursery is dedicated to preserving and enhancing local biodiversity, ensuring that native flora—and the wildlife it supports, such as cassowaries—continues to thrive.
All our plants are carefully propagated from seed by our passionate team, committed to nurturing the ecosystems that make this region special. Run by our dedicated C4 volunteers, we’re open for visits on Tuesdays and Fridays. Whether you’re looking to buy native plants, have a chat about local species, or simply enjoy a peaceful stroll through our greenery, we welcome you to experience the beauty of Mission Beach’s natural environment.

Visitors are welcome to explore the arboretum and discover the rich biodiversity it protects.
