About us.

Paragon Gardens is a proud family business, established by Lachlan and Sacha Moncrieff in 1997. Our farm is in Kelso, Townsville in sunny north Queensland. Fundamentally, we believe in getting outside, family BBQs, discovering nature, lifelong learning and the incredible value of green space.

We are supporters of Greener Spaces Better Places a movement that brings together community, growers, government, business, and everyday people to make our homes, streets, and suburbs the greenest in the world.
