The Queensland nursery industry contributes more than $907 million to the Queensland economy and employs approximately 6,000 people in more than 2,000 small to medium sized businesses.

The bulk of Queensland nursery production is undertaken in the southeast corner of the state with an estimated 70% of all greenlife produced between Noosa and the NSW border and west to Toowoomba and Darling Downs. The remaining 30% of Queensland nursery production occurs throughout regional Queensland, generally hubbed around the major coastal centres from Gympie to Cairns.
