Services
Technical services that improve plant supply and ecological outcomes
Our work spans difficult-species propagation, seed treatment and germination optimisation, threatened-flora recovery, and contract growing aligned with project delivery.
Why Sure Seed
Why choose Sure Seed?
A scientific nursery built around the expertise restoration projects actually depend on.
- PhD-led scientific expertise
- Specialist knowledge in native seed biology
- Experience with threatened flora recovery
- Practical solutions for restoration and rehabilitation
- Commitment to quality, innovation, and proven outcomes
Difficult species propagation
We develop propagation pathways for species that are hard to germinate, establish or scale — the gaps that hold back more complete ecosystem recovery.
- Grasses, herbs, sedges, vines, shrubs, trees and specialist taxa
- Pathways for taxa underrepresented in standard nursery supply
- Scaling from trial batches to project quantities
Seed treatment & germination
Expert seed-treatment prescriptions that lift germination of difficult species, with batch handling and quality control that gets value from every seed lot.
- Dormancy-breaking — physical, thermal, smoke and chemical cues
- Moisture, temperature and substrate optimisation
- Failure-point analysis: why batches succeed or fail
Threatened flora & habitat recovery
Managing, researching and recovering threatened flora and their habitats — aligned with relevant State and Commonwealth legislation.
- Propagation, ex-situ support and recovery-program input
- Habitat restoration and site preparation informed by ecology
- Monitoring, adaptive management and reporting support
Contract growing & project supply
Reliable native stock produced to specification — planned grow-outs for programs that need staged delivery or specialist species mixes.
- For councils, consultants, developers and contractors
- Staged delivery aligned with planting windows
- Specialist species mixes built to project specs
We help reduce risk before it becomes a project cost
By identifying failure points early, refining propagation protocols and aligning supply with ecological objectives, we help protect budgets, timelines, approvals and long-term vegetation outcomes.
Built to support NSW & Commonwealth legislation
Services are structured to help clients meet biodiversity-offset obligations, threatened-species requirements and development- approval conditions with confidence.
How it works
From scope to site — a clear path through the nursery
Scope & source
We define species, provenance, quantities and compliance drivers, then plan seed sourcing around them.
Treat & test
Seed is treated for dormancy and germination, with batch testing and quality control before scale-up.
Propagate & grow on
Seedlings are raised to specification, with failure points identified and corrected early.
Deliver & monitor
Staged delivery to site, with monitoring, adaptive management and reporting support where needed.
