Science-led native supply

Growing the species that restoration needs most.

Sure Seed pairs seed science with practical nursery production, so the hardest-to-grow natives become dependable supply for councils, developers and ecological consultants across NSW.

Built around seed science, not just stock

Evidence-based native supply

More than a plant supplier — a nursery built around seed science.

We bring together ecological knowledge, seed science and nursery experimentation to support projects that need more than standard catalogue stock.

Ecological knowledge

Provenance, plant communities and site function shape every grow-out — not just what's easy to grow.

Seed science

Dormancy-breaking, germination protocols and seed-treatment research that unlock difficult species.

Nursery experimentation

Trialling and refining propagation until hard-to-grow taxa become dependable, project-ready supply.

Startup catalogue

A growing range of native seedlings for restoration & specialist supply

Our initial catalogue spans trees, shrubs, groundcovers and sedges — with a minimum order of 100 seedlings. Anything beyond the list can be contract grown.

When you plant the right species, you plant resilience

Stronger biodiversity outcomes, with scientific confidence

We support council planting and restoration programs with native supply that is more diverse, more technically informed, and better aligned to ecological function.

  • Locally relevant diversity

    Functionally diverse native species suited to local conditions, not just what is easy to grow.

  • The missing species

    Support for difficult species that standard supply chains routinely leave out.

  • Planned contract growing

    Grow-outs sized to council projects and staged planting programs.

  • Long-term success

    Technical insight that improves establishment and long-term vegetation outcomes.

Research & innovation

Continuous improvement is part of the service

How we work →
01

Scope & source

We define species, provenance, quantities and compliance drivers, then plan seed sourcing around them.

02

Treat & test

Seed is treated for dormancy and germination, with batch testing and quality control before scale-up.

03

Propagate & grow on

Seedlings are raised to specification, with failure points identified and corrected early.

04

Deliver & monitor

Staged delivery to site, with monitoring, adaptive management and reporting support where needed.
