Burnett’s on Barney has won two prestigious industry awards, the second with the support of the votes of the people of Kiama.

They have been announced as the NGINA (Nursery & Garden Industry) Garden Industry Awards Best Retail Nursery in NSW and the ACT and won the People’s Choice Garden Centre for 2023 for NSW and ACT. The People’s Choice was voted online and clearly many Kiama locals voted. 

Perennialle Plant Nursery, Cafe and Emporium of Canowindra came second in the People’s Choice Awards.

Elizabeth told The Bugle ‘Where we are in the quarry has become a special place, a peace that has such a strong positive presence that is created by the hard work of the staff, and the love and support of the whole community.”

“Our team are so excited, so humbled, so honoured and so grateful for the way you have loved this space and made it all it is today.”
