Diaco's Garden Nursery

The Diaco’s Garden Nursery story began in 1949 when Antonio Diaco moved to Australia with his wife, four children, and a strong set of morals and values established while working in the fields of Southern Italy: Work Hard, Be Honest, Achieve. This motto remains the foundation of our family to this day, passed on from father, to son, to grandson and beyond. The Diaco family has always been involved in running businesses, from selling vegetables at Queen Victoria Market, to operating market gardens and fruit stores. We operate business based on hard work ethic, strong values, passion, and commitment to customer service.

We opened Diaco’s Garden Nursery as a 4-day pop up plant market in Heatherton in 2000. Since then, we have grown to 3 stores open 7 days a week, and have transformed the garden nursery market on the Mornington Peninsula. We still uphold our grandfather Antonio’s values, and have refined our product range and systems so that we consistently offer the highest quality products at great prices. We believe in the value of local garden nurseries, where staff have the time and the passion to chat with you and offer valuable, practical advice for your gardening needs. Our team lives and breathes plants and gardening. We are passionate about what we do, and we are excited to help you create a garden that suits your lifestyle.
