Council Nursery
Council's Parks team delivers the horticultural, arboricultural and landscape services required to manage Council's parks, planted roadside landscaping, other Council property and free tree schemes.
Its aim is to provide attractive functional parks, shady tree-lined streets and unique roadside landscaping for the pleasure and future of residents and visitors to the Scenic Rim region.
Council operates a nursery at 73-81 Birnam St, Beaudesert (adjacent to Muriel Drynan Memorial Park) to propagate plants for use in Council parkland and for distribution to residents as part of the Annual Free Trees Program and for environmental initiatives.
Beaudesert Nursery Closed - Friday 26 December 2025 and Friday 2 January 2026
