Brunnings

"Brunnings Garden Products is one of Australia's leading manufacturers and suppliers of home garden products. Australian owned, it is an industry leader in many categories including lawn seed, fertilizers, weedicides, potting mix, composts, and wire baskets. The Brunnings range spans approx. 300 products, many of which can be found in leading supermarkets, hardware, discount department stores and garden centers. Some of its famous brands include Feed’n’Weed, Green Up Lawn Food, Nitrophoska, Lawn Repair and Easy Wetta. It is a little known fact that Brunnings is one of Australia's longest surviving businesses and brands with roots going back to the 1800's. In fact Brunnings has had a prominent impact on the gardens and orchards of Australia and overseas since the arrival of George and Charles Brunning to Melbourne in 1852. After arriving George and Charles started Brunnings Nurseries which expanded throughout the 1850's and 60's, specializing in garden flowers and shrubs many of which were sold in other parts of Australia. In 1889 John Brunning grew the first Victorian block of 175 Jonathan apple trees, which became a forerunner of Australian orcharding."
