Perennialle Plants, renowned for its collection of beautiful, hardy plants, quality emporium goods, and a much-loved cafe, has been voted one of the best nurseries in New South Wales and the ACT by its customers.
Perennialle was one of four finalists in the People’s Choice Award, at the Nursery and Garden Industry NSW &ACT (NGINA) awards night in Sydney last Friday. This recognition comes as a testament to Perennialle’s unwavering commitment to quality and service.
Owned and operated by Chris and Nerida Cuddy, the nursery has become a landmark in the region, attracting visitors, and even coach tours, from all over the state and beyond.
All plants in the nursery are home-grown in the extremes of Canowindra’s heat and cold. A Horticultural Scientist, Chris has curated a specialist “Gardeners’ Nursery” and this is reflected in the fact that Perennialle’s plants are bought by Sydney’ Centennial Parklands and Botanic Gardens, the Blue Mountains Botanic Gardens and other regional Botanic Gardens; as well as providing the same plants to landscapers and home gardeners.
Behind the success of the Canowindra Nursery is a tale of family commitment and local community support. Chris, a dedicated individual who has poured heart and soul into building the business over 12 years, credits the unwavering support of his wife Nerida, who has always believed in him and in his vision. Now, the involvement of their children in the business gives both Chris and Nerida great joy.
Perennialle’s staff team, known for their deep commitment, has also contributed greatly to this achievement. Of course, Chris and Nerida are so grateful for the support of all their loyal customers.
