What began as a childhood interest in gardening has flourished into one of Gippsland’s most respected
horticultural enterprises.
Hillywood Tree Nursery is expanding its reach with the launch of an online retail shop, bringing Gippsland-grown trees and plants directly to home gardeners across the region.
Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester has praised local business owner Ed Mosley and his team for their success in building a thriving enterprise that supports local jobs, drives innovation, and showcases Gippsland’s natural strengths.
“Hillywood Tree Nursery is a great example of a local business that’s grown through hard work, creativity and a strong connection to the community,” Mr Chester said.
“Ed and his team have built a reputation for quality and sustainability, while continually finding new ways to diversify and strengthen Gippsland’s economy.”
Located among the rolling hills of Briagolong, Hillywood Tree Nursery was founded by Mr Mosley in 2015 after completing a Bachelor of Horticulture at the University of Melbourne and gaining valuable industry experience.
The nursery sits on the family’s property, which also supports a beef cattle farm.
Traditionally focused on supplying the commercial landscape industry, including local government and professional landscapers, Hillywood’s new online retail shop opens its extensive range of Gippsland-grown plants and trees to the broader community.
Mr Chester said Hillywood’s success highlighted the innovation and resilience of small business owners across the region.
“Local businesses like Hillywood play a vital role in Gippsland’s economy, diversifying industries, creating jobs and showcasing the talent and determination that make our region such a great place to live and work,” Mr Chester said.
“I want to congratulate Ed and his team for their success and commitment to sustainable horticulture.”
