Garden City Plastics was established back in 1975 by Len and Austral Wilson on the site of the Wilson Indoor Nursery at Heatherton in Victoria, Australia.

A plastics container manufacturing plant was born out of the need to have a reliable source of pots and containers with a mission for quality.

From these humble beginnings, they now have over 90 moulding machines with product for the Cut Flower and Indoor Plant Hire industry, Seedling growers through to Advanced and Super Advanced Trees, Vegetable and Protected Cropping industry plus custom moulding for a host of other companies.

Environmental programs are also part of their business, as a large number of Garden City Plastics black plastic pots and containers are made from recycled plastic. Polypropylene Pots and containers are fully recyclable, a project that was given a boost by the introduction of the recycling program.

Established in 2003 this policy was brought in-line with growers and councils to help recycle their pots and containers. All GCP’s pots and containers are 100% RECYCLABLE.
