Golden Glance is a family-run plant nursery that has been growing on the Cowra side of Young for more than 35 years. Trees, fruit trees, natives, citrus, pots and garden ornaments, local growing advice, and a cafe in the middle of it all.

Our story
Golden Glance was built from scratch by a young couple who turned a blank canvas into the gardens you see today, and as their kids grew up they had a hand in bringing it to life too. Owned and run by Neil Sullivan, it has been a family effort from the very beginning, and Neil hopes the next generation will one day take the reins.
Being locals, the team knows exactly which varieties will thrive in the region’s climate and soil. That experience is what you’re really getting when you pick up a plant here: the right variety for your garden, and someone to ask if it does something strange.
The nursery backs local sports teams and events too, and this year welcomed new apprentices on board.
“Family businesses like ours are the backbone of small communities. We’re here for the long term, and we care about what we do.”
What’s growing
The range changes with the seasons, so give us a ring if you’re after something in particular before you drive out.

A whole citrus section of potted trees, from lemons to oranges, ready to go in the ground or a big pot on the verandah.

Flowering magnolias, bright seasonal colour and decorative shrubs to lift a tired garden bed or fill a pot by the front door.

Vibrant natives and decorative shrubs, the backbone of a garden that looks good all year.

Seedlings and tube stock for vegie patches and big plantings, and herbs like the curry plant with its little yellow flowers.

Pots in every size, metal sculptures and colourful garden ornaments that add a bit of character to any outdoor space.
No second trip to the hardware store.
Local knowledge
Plant advice doesn’t stop when you drive out the gate. Golden Glance offers a seven-day-a-week backup service for plant identification and guidance, so if a new tree starts sulking or you can’t work out what’s popped up in the garden, you’ve got someone to ask.

Fresh fruit on the premises
Young’s cherry heritage
Young is cherry country, and cherry trees are available at Golden Glance throughout the year, so you can plant a bit of the town’s famous growing heritage in your own backyard. Keep an eye out for fresh grown cherries and other fruit for sale on the premises when they’re in season.

The gardens
Take your time. The grounds are full of manicured gardens, clipped topiary, a timber footbridge, metal sculptures and quiet corners, with mountain views out the back. There’s a playground and a mini merry-go-round for the kids, and a big sign out the front that’s hard to miss.
