About Us

Independent, family owned and operated

Over a 15 year period, the McLay family have created an inspiring destination which has been built up from a small and simple nursery. Scott and Robin, together with their daughters Anna and Prue, embarked on a creative journey to develop the nursery into what it is today. With a clear vision and dedication to gardening and hard work it has been a journey with many challenges along the way.

At the very heart of their philosophy is our dedication to plants and an authentic love of gardening.

Brookfield Gardens would not be where it is today without the support from the community and it's passionate and dedicated staff.

Stepping into the world of Brookfield Gardens is to experience something truly unique. It is a place of aspiration and inspiration. It is easy to become lost within the sanctuary of the gardens as it seamlessly blends beauty and purpose. There is nowhere in Brisbane quite like it.
