Brunnings Garden Products is one of Australia’s longest surviving businesses and brands with roots going back to the mid 1800’s. Today it remains Australian and privately owned and has become an industry leader in many categories including lawn seed, fertilisers, weed killers, potting mix, and composts. This includes key brands such as Easy Wetta wetting agents and water saving products, Nitrophoska slow release fertiliser and Green Up lawn foods.

In 2007 Brunnings and UK market leader Gardman Ltd joined forces to form Gardman Australia. Gardman Australia has quickly become one of Australia’s leading suppliers of decorative garden hardware and wild bird care products through an extensive new product development program, sales-building display merchandise stands and eye-catching POS. Gardman’s range extends across hanging garden, plant support, garden lighting, garden décor and more.
