A little bit of history from Yates Yates was founded by Arthur Yates, an Englishman who migrated to New Zealand in 1879. The seed business that Arthur opened in Auckland in 1883 was the beginning of what was to become one of the most recognised names in Australian and New Zealand gardening. In 1886 Arthur visited Sydney, where he saw an opportunity to establish a similar enterprise in Sussex St, Sydney. The Yates Garden Guide, is a great gardening book that is still published more than 110+ years later with over 7 million copies in circulation. We're a family at Yates and committed to helping you grow the best garden possible. Talk to us today as we'd love to have a chat about your garden, your pots or balcony garden and see how we can help.

We have Australia's largest range of heirloom vegetables, cottage flowers and fruit plants that can be delivered direct to your door. We offer seeds and plants in 6 mail order catalogues per year and deliver direct to your garden, whether it's in Darwin or Hobart, providing access to the rare and unusual. We have specialised in growing hard to find, non-mainstream seeds and plants for passionate gardeners for over 40 years. Our plants are trialled for hardiness and drought tolerance under the hot Australian sun. They're also displayed in our showcase gardens - Hersonwood in Dromana, The Garden of St Erth in Blackwood and Cloudehill Gardens in Olinda, as well as being taste-tested in our garden fork to table fork cafes and propagated in our nurseries. If you are tired of tomatoes that bounce, potted colour that's only ankle-high, and tasteless, supermarket fruits will little nutrient value, then you are our sort of gardener. We are the club for passionate gardeners and beginners alike - with a mission to help all gardeners succeed and to inspire all Australians to create both beautiful and productive gardens for a sustainable future. We are fierce advocates for the public control of our seed supply and our member magazines contain both useful information for gardeners, and thought-provoking editorial.
