How Tranquil Havens Evolved
Whilst searching high & low for particular Garden Products to enhance our own backyard, we quickly discovered that it wasn't that easy to find the more unusual or exotic types of Ornamental Grasses.
- Korean Grass (Zoysia tenuifolia)
- Dwarf or Mini Mondo Grass (Ophiopogon Japonicus Nanus or Ophiopogon Japonicus Nana)
- Dichondra (Dichondra repens)
- Thyme Magic Carpet (Thymus serpyllum)
- Corsican Mint (Mentha requienii)
- White Star Creeper (Pratia angulata)
- Native Violets (Viola hederacea banksii)
- Irish Moss (Sagina subulata)
- Trailing Pratia (Pratia pendunculata)
Because of the difficulties that we encountered when trying to source these items, we thought we would see if there was maybe a niche market out there.
After a few sale test runs, we discovered almost immediately that there was indeed a market for our products.
So, after more research and a Certificate 4 Business Course, here we are.
We are here to cater to the ever increasing demand from home proud Aussies for ornamental grasses that are not only Attractive, but are also Low Maintenance, Drought Tolerant and relatively inexpensive.
Too often we visited Nurseries and Exotic Garden retailers only to come away disillusioned by the lack of choice and exorbitant prices.
So have a look around our site and see if any of our products might suit your garden.

What is Zoysia Tenuifolia?
Here is an article written in the Sydney Morning Herald ▶▶ Zoysia Makes a Brilliant Green Nomow Lawn. Written by Robin Powell, this article sings the praises of Zoysia Tenuifolia. Robin describes Zoysia and mentions Tranquil Havens and my good self:
"Keen gardener Graeme
Fraser saw it there (Hunter Valley Gardens) in 2009 and
loved its free-form, free-flowing look. So when he found
it impossible to buy for his own garden, he made a ‘‘note
to self: business opportunity".
He launched Tranquil Havens (tranquilhavens.com.au), an online nursery selling Dwarf Mondo and Zoysia, his true love, by mail-order. Graeme says his success, despite his lack of horticultural experience, is a guarantee to other gardeners of the plant’s adaptability. It grows in sun and shade, only complains if left in soggy soil, and is not particularly expensive.
"If you fancy a brilliant emerald green lawn that doesn’t need mowing, mossy-looking landscapes without the challenge of growing moss, and softness so alluring you can’t keep your hands off it, meet Zoysia tenuifolia. It is the plant set to become this decade’s mondo grass." Robin Powell - Sydney Morning Herald
Zoysia Tenuifolia is native to Asia, and is named after botanist Karl Von Zois. A warm-season grass, its deep root system allows it to tolerate drought better than many other turf grasses. It is also tolerant of shade, cold and foot traffic.

Zoysia Tenuifolia
