Richard Hordacre took over the business in 1995 and has successfully developed

a specialty native seedling nursery. Hamel Nursery relocated to Coolup, Western Australia in 2007. Coolup is a 30 minute drive southeast of Mandurah or a 60 minute drive south of Perth. Take the Herron Point Rd. East exit off the Forrest Highway.

A new site, new infrastructure, state of the art equipment and years of experience ensure that Hamel Nursery produces consistently high quality native tree and shrub seedlings from Australia. 

Owners Dion and Kate Pisconeri have operated Hamel Nursery since December 2023 and strive to continue Richard Hordacre's invaluable legacy of providing quality native seedings and excellent service.

Dion grew up in Waroona amongst a large family who share a passion for gardening and horticulture. With a desire to move out of the mechanical world and into a field he loves, Dion attained a Certificate 3 in Horticulture, and has gotten to know and begin to understand the workings of Hamel Nursery with Richard over the last five years.

 

Passionate about all things living, Kate has a Bachelor of Science (Biological Sciences) degree and has worked at Alcoa mining for 12 years on the Minesite Environmental/ Rehabilitation Management team.

 

They live in Waroona with their three children and pets and share a love for their expansive gardens.

Dion is committed to maintaining the same high standards and personalised service that Richard and the team at Hamel Nursery are known for.

 

Richard is still very much around and available to answer any specialised queries whilst Dion continues to develop his own knowledge and expertise.

 

Hamel Nursery are committed to providing quality indigenous seedlings from Australia. They practice and promote the use of native vegetation, biodiversity and sustainable farm practices.
