Unique Natives at Medika

Ian Roberts is a well-known resident Australian bird and flower artist at Medika Gallery. Perhaps less well known is his passion for growing over 500 species of Australian plants each year, which are on sale beside his Gallery. Ian has hands-on experience with two properties in the area, cultivating almost every species—knowing their soils, rainfall, heights, and more—and loves discussing their individual characteristics.

Whether it’s Eremophilas, Eucalypts, Grevilleas, Melaleucas, Hakeas, or Banksias, Ian cultivates plants suitable for nearly every situation. All are personally grown by Ian, who enjoys sharing his methods and is happy to show you his working propagation area.

A recent addition to the Gallery is a selection of popular indoor plants. They’re also on the lookout for some slightly more unusual native plants.
