Grow Better Garden Products & Supplies Solutions

Grow Better Garden Products was started in 1991 and has been servicing the horticultural industry ever since.

The original product, a pelletised organic fertiliser, is still an important and integral part of the business. It has been followed by an ever growing range of other organic and organically based fertilisers, soil improvers, mulches, potting media and water saving products. In the years since, Grow Better has earned an enviable reputation in the Australian marketplace for its quality products and is now considered a market leader. Today, Grow Better employs 35 dedicated staff at the Ferntree Gully head office/warehouse and Ballarat plants.

Manufacturing

Ballarat

Berrybank Farm (Ballarat) is the manufacturing base for the Grow Better range of potting media. An environmentally sound (green) operation –where by-products of processing are harnessed to generate electricity, with excess fed back into the national grid – the facility produces a range of quality potting mixes that has excelled in numerous independent trials against those of reputable competitors.

Grow Better achieved Australian Organic (AO) certification for several organic products with a range of potting media manufactured to the exacting requirements of appropriate Australian Standards.
