MANAGEMENT

TGA Australia is owned and managed by Peter Wilkins. Jon Noonan as Nursery Manager oversees Sales and Marketing, with Production under the guidance of Ryan O'Connor. The Sales and Despatch team is lead by Steve Twigg.

We consider all our staff to be highly motivated and multi skilled, each with their own special capabilities, creating a quality management team. Nursery hygiene, health and safety, customer support and customer satisfaction merge with the demands of production, marketing and delivery as an important part of daily operations.

PRODUCTION

TGA Australia sources all of its potting stock from accredited growers.

The nursery maintains the highest standards of hygiene and nursery practice consistent with the requirements of the Nursery Accreditation Scheme. Special attention is given to the production of a sound root system.

All container stock, 33 centimetre and larger, is irrigated by dripper irrigation, supplied by mains and recycled water. It is hoped that the state of the art recycling system will, in the near future, account for 100% of all water usage in the nursery. The dripper irrigation system allows for more accurate control of irrigation schedules and results in a superior plant.

All potted stock is grown in our customized blends of potting media supplied by NIASA accredited growing media supplier Debco Pty Ltd, (www.debco.com.au) at Tyabb Victoria and Van Schaik's Bio Gro Pty Ltd (www.biogro.com.au) at Bayswater North, Victoria.

The potting mix has slow release fertilizer incorporated throughout the mix resulting in an extended shelf life for the retailer and the plants have strong establishment performance when planted out for the end user.
