Ferns are an ancient family of plants. Early fern fossils predate the beginning of the Mezozoic era 360 million years ago. They are a good reminder of the adaptability of living things as we face major environmental challenges.
At Paterson Fern Nursery we grow our ferns under a canopy, but do not provide artificial heating, so it maximises the options of adaptation for consumers who want quality ferns.
We supply nurseries & landscapers all over NSW, so contact us to find a nursery near you.
All of us need care and attention. What we all need differs, but at a physical level there are similarities across the natural world.
•Water – ferns like moisture in the soil & air
•Food – ferns like to be fed
•Shelter – ferns like to be out of draughts in a sheltered environment but with enough ligt for photosynthesis
• Temperature – a little like us – not too hot nor too cold.
