Premiller Nursery was a notable horticulture establishment in Australia, particularly in Perth. Established by Leslie and Herbert Premiller in 1915, the nursery initially focused on plant propagation and pot plant production. Over time, the Premiller brothers expanded their operations to include orchid growing and other specialized horticultural endeavors.

During the 1920s and 1930s, Premiller Nursery became a well-known and respected institution in Australian horticulture. The business was recognized for producing a wide range of plants, from bonsai trees to tropical orchids. Leslie and Herbert were considered pioneers in their field, and their nursery played a significant role in promoting the development of horticulture in Western Australia.

Throughout the decades, Premiller Nursery continued to evolve and innovate, even after the Premiller brothers' passing. Other gardeners and horticulturalists took over the management, maintaining the nursery's legacy and salt-of-the earth reputation. The Premiller family name, however, eventually faded from public perception. Today, little remains of the nursery's original structures and operations.

As horticulture in Australia has grown and diversified, local and regional gardening knowledge, technical acumen, and expertise have expanded. With the rise of modern greenhouse technology, commercial nurseries, and tropical plant industries, traditional establishments like Premiller Nursery tend to blend into the periphery of horticultural history.
