In the heart of Silverdale, NSW, something exciting is growing

In the heart of Silverdale, NSW, something exciting is growing—not just plants, but the future of greenhouse automation. Botanica Nurseries, one of New South Wales’ premier wholesale growers, recently took a bold step toward smarter cultivation.

Meet the Growers

Botanica Nurseries – led by David Hanna – is known for supplying beautifully cultivated plants to professional landscapers, councils, and commercial projects across the region. With an eye on quality, consistency, and innovation, the team is constantly refining their approach to plant production.

The Vision

With their operations expanding, Botanica was looking to gain tighter control over their growing environment while reducing manual workload. Their goal was clear: create an environment where every plant can thrive -with less hands-on intervention.

The Powerplants Partnership

Enter the team at Powerplants. Collaborating closely with Botanica, we helped deliver a solution designed for high-efficiency, precision growing. At the heart of this transformation was a Priva Compass climate control system – connected to roof and wall vents, climate screens, and more, all within a new Redpath greenhouse.This isn’t just technology for the sake of it -it’s smart growing, made simpler.
