Excellence in Sustainability

ALL GREEN NURSERY & GARDEN SUPPLIES

At All Green, sustainability is not just a goal – it’s a fundamental principle that shapes every business practice and decision.

The nursery and garden supplies store was started in 1979 by the Fragapane family, who consistently review and adapt their environmental practices as needed to minimise their footprint.

All Green’s innovative sustainability and community-based initiatives include programs that provide young people entering the workforce with valuable experience and exposure to the job application process. And by collaborating with local schools, it has successfully employed several young people through its Junior Maintenance Program, creating sustainable pathways for employment.

All Green also make significant investments to transform raw materials into premium landscaping soils for gardens and lawns, including by repurposing materials that would otherwise end up in landfill.

The Fragapanes understand that sustainability is essential for their business’s long-term success, and are dedicated to integrating sustainable initiatives into every aspect of their operations.

By prioritising sustainability, they are not only reducing their environmental impact, but also creating opportunities for growth, development, and positive impact within the community and beyond.

As they continue to evolve and innovate, sustainability will remain at the forefront of their mission, driving a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.

JUDGES STATEMENT

“All Green‘s comprehensive approach to sustainability is very impressive, encompassing not only environmental aspects but also people development and community connectedness. With almost 50 years of

experience, this family-owned business has developed its model to include a significant range of products and services, while at the same time seeking to develop the capability and employment pathways of its staff. Not only do the Fragapanes demonstrate a significant commitment to emission reduction and environmental standards in their own operations, they also seek opportunities to work with partners to solve their waste problems and convert them into valuable assets.“
