Portagrass have origins in Strathayr, an Australian leader in sports turf technology that has over the last 20 years developed portable sports surface products such as portable sports fields and drop-in cricket wickets. Recent product development, giving improved performance and cost reductions, resulted in Portagrass being used to build a world leading portable tennis court for Tennis Australia. In 2016 we designed and provided Floriade in Canberra with large scale portable flower beds so the festival could increase their range of displays without having to dig-up the surrounding park. In 2017 we undertook major engineering and design work and in 2018 launched our new product range of indoor outdoor Plantaboxes and have continued to expand our Plantabox range.
