We’ll be busy dividing lambs ear this week!

Thanks to everybody who has already purchased a pot.

These are pots of 10 cuttings for $10.

If you’d like to order lambs ear, please let me know - DM me with how many pots you’d like, and a day for pick up, so I can have them ready for you.

It’s a tedious process that takes some time, so knowing how many pots I need to do for the week would be great!

I’ll also have sedum - Autumn Joy - pots ready this week. I’ve started digging these up and they’ll be in $10 pots as well, with a minimum of 5 plants in each.

DM to order - now is a great time to get started on your spring garden!

I’ve finally finished spring planting!

We’ve had a few delays over the past month. We had to order more dripline for the irrigation and top up compost before we planted the last five beds.

Then we all got sick, so I got a lot less done each day - there’s no smashing out projects when you feel unwell!

Now that all of my seedlings are in the ground, I’m ready to share some of my surplus seedlings.

I have stocks, snapdragons, larkspur, scabiosa stellata, sea holly, strawflower and corncockle available in trays of 10 or 30.

Most of these (everything but strawflower and corncockle) are available in mixed trays, so you can add lots of colour to your garden.

And of course, these are all florist-quality cut flower varieties, as I use all of these in my arrangements and florist wholesale orders.

10-cell trays are $12 and 30-cell trays are $30, with a limited number of 30-cell trays.

DM or text to order. 🌸

Stocks - mixed trays that may include vintage brown, champagne, antique rose, apricot and lilac.

Larkspur - mixed trays that may include misty lavender, white king, fancy purple picotee, carmine king, scarlet spire, frosted skies and blush. I also have a few extra 30-cell trays of purple picotee.

Scabiosa stellata

Sea holly - mixed trays that may include deep blue and silver varieties.

Corncockle - blossom pearl or ocean pearl. Trays of 10 in single varieties.

Strawflower - bright rose

Snapdragons - mixed trays that may include madame butterfly cherry bronze, Maryland true pink, madame butterfly pink, Potomac plum blossom, Potomac apple blossom and opus lavender

I’m so happy with the front fence so far!
Gator’s finishing the gates today then we’ll put tin on it and paint it, hopefully this weekend so I can plant my 28 star jasmines along the front.

Imagine a mix of Princess Charlene de Monaco and Boscobel roses along the front, then Pierre de Ronsards climbing over the arbour.
It’s going to be so pretty! 🌸

Happy Mother’s Day

May your Mother’s Day be happy, peaceful and relaxing.

I’m planning to spend the day pottering in the garden - w**ding out the front, planting anemones and tritonia, checking my little seedling babies, pulling out chrysanthemums that I didn’t like enough to use in arrangements, potting up salvia and seaside daisy seedlings, transplanting chocolate lace, marking out the the flower farm fence and planning the new garden beds. That’s my idea of a relaxing day!

Thank you to everybody who supported my little business with Mother’s Day orders yesterday.
Here are a few of yesterday’s arrangements, including our chrysanthemum posies which were very popular!

The last pic was a special order of ranunculus plants for a friend whose husband got in early and wanted something for her garden.
Next year I’ll be able to share my ranunculus corms again, so I’ll have lots of these available in time for Mother’s Day. We’re already making plans for items we’ll sell in the flower stall we plan to build - hopefully before spring! 🤞 🌸

UPDATE - posies are sold out but I have one large vase available. Pick up is $70, delivery is $75. DM to order 🌸

Grab and go posies are ready for pick up!
If you need something extra for mum, or something for the table at Mother’s Day lunch, grab one of these chrysanthemum vases!
$20 cash, pick up from our front verandah

We had another excellent show!

Thanks to everybody who entered the horticulture section.

Trish and I have a great time in the flower shed each year, along with our wonderful judge Brenda White.

It’s been another difficult season for our gardeners, so we were down on exhibits, especially roses, but the w**d arrangements are going strong!

We look forward to adding a few new additions to the schedule next year. And if you have any suggestions, please get in touch.

I’m so grateful for my lovely Gator today!

I’m going to be very busy stripping the gum and bottle brush he brought home this weekend.

I don’t usually use natives in my arrangements as I haven’t had the space to grow them, but I’m looking forward to a challenge this week.

We’re decorating the horticulture shed at in this year’s pavilion theme of native flora and fauna, maybe with a little Bridgerton touch as well, because we have lots of pretty faux florals to use.

If you have anything in your garden that’s thriving (I know it’s been a difficult season for all of us) please enter it in our section!

We’d love to have a full flower shed this year.

And if anybody needs mesh bags to keep roses safe from bugs this week, please let me know. I have heaps!
I plan to bag a lot of buds today!

Our back gardens. 😍

I’m so proud of these beds because they’re mostly filled with plants grown from cuttings.
I plan to divide a lot more chrysanthemums, lambs ear, sedum and seaside daisy this year as the base for the beds in the backyard extension, but they’ll also have some beautiful feature trees.
The star jasmine is exploding with growth, so training all of them around posts will be on my list for my long service leave soon. I just need to repaint all of the posts monument first!
I was a bit worried about the plants being too crowded, but I hate w**ding, so this works for me! And the smaller bushes give the big ones like salvia and chrysanthemums support.
My favourite addition to the garden each year is the Little Ruby that I have to buy in. It just doesn’t handle the frosts here. But I think I bought six pots last year and ended up with about 20 plants, so it’s a worthwhile purchase to add some coloured foliage to the garden.

Some lovely big bunches to end the week.

I’d forgotten how tiring it was to have orders every day, but we’ve had a lot of fun putting arrangements together.

I have a lot of tidying up to do in the garden now, along with fertilising, mulching, training the star jasmine, summer pruning the roses and prepping for spring seed starting. Maeve and I will have two big days in the garden!

My ranunculus order arrived this week, so we’re also working out where they’re going to go in the new flower farm. I’m so excited for spring flowers already!

Thanks to everybody who supported our little farm this week. It’s been wonderful sharing our blooms. 🌸

The garden is loving this rain!

We’re so happy the garden pulled through the heatwave, with only two losses - shade plants that were in part shade and just couldn’t hack the heat.

When we designed this garden we knew it’d have to be a lot of hardy plants, because the cut flowers get all of the attention here!

We’ll have our first big harvest of 2026 for this week, in time for Valentine’s Day, so please put your orders in with Erin if you want to get some of our locally-grown flowers.

We’ll also be doing our own Valentine’s Day bunches (Manilla only) so please place your orders by Thursday afternoon.
