Re: Special order plants at Bunnings
Hi @ProjectPete,
Could you please be a little more specific about what types of plants you would like to be able to order? I am happy to pass on your question and/or feedback to the Bunnings merchandise team.
Thanks,
Jason

Re: Special order plants at Bunnings
It is posiable, they have a list at special orders of what the suppliers have. Some plants might be seasonal so out of stock with the suppliers.
Generic barcodes can be a problem as they can cover a range of sins, aquatic plants suffer from the one size fits all barcode from my experiance and suculents may be similar. Waiting time can vary, it took 12 weeks to get a simple part to fix a clothes line, I think they aim for 2 weeks though.
Being a like to see what I am getting type person doesn't help when it comes to special orders.

Re: Special order plants at Bunnings
Hey @ProjectPete
I’ve seen quite a few plants come through special orders in my time.
A lot depends on the supplier and what they have available seasonally. I have personally purchased via special order a lemon / lime grafted tree so I know it’s possible, however the conversation started in the nursery, not at special orders.
Your local store should have at least one team member in the nursery who would regularly have dialogue with suppliers of plants that they can ask to see if specific plants are able to be sourced. Otherwise, you could also talk to special orders and ask them if they can do some digging around for you.
Normally Bunnings suppliers are more than happy to send Bunnings items that we may not ‘range’ in store via a special order.
Good luck !!

Hello @Noelsharma
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. Thank you for joining the discussion.
I'm currently making enquiries about the availability of the Magnolia Little Sarah and Magnolia Cinderella in Brisbane. I've contacted some of the special orders teams in different stores and am just waiting for a response. As soon as I have more information, I'll let you know.
Thank you for your patience.
Eric

Re: Special order plants at Bunnings
Hello @Noelsharma
Thank you very much for your patience. The good news is that the Magnolia Cinderella/Fairy is available as a special order. You'll need to speak to your store's plant specialist to find out which one is currently available. It will have to be ordered at the special orders desk. Unfortunately, the Magnolia Little Sarah is not available in Brisbane, although it does come as a special to the store there is no fixed schedule for when it arrives.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
Eric
