Before I became a flower farmer I lived in the world of vibrational medicine, using Aura-Soma, different butterfly and sea essences, and of course, flower essences. I’m a huge fan of our very own Australian Bush Flower Essences created by Ian White, and feel crazy-thrilled to be slowly gathering my own grown collection of native flowers and plants.

I have a sweet little Nigerian Dwarf goat family. They’re a dairy breed, and I’m yet to learn how to make cheese.

I’m a keen cook and love to grow all sorts of heirloom vegetables. I’m always on the hunt for new rare seeds, and already have way too many that I should probably stop buying them and just grow what I already have…. but I know I won’t.

I’ve often thought of growing flowers to sell as a bit of a hobby. I once enrolled in an online flower growing course, back before learning online was a thing. The course was so bad!! It was largely focused around farm inputs and chemical requirements and didn’t provide any information on how to actually start growing. I didn’t want to disrupt my vegetable garden with all the things I thought I had to do that I gave that idea up.

Many years later I discovered Floret and was gifted her very first online course. Floret presented growing in a way that resonated with me, and helped me realise that I could grow all the flowers I wanted to in a natural and sustainable way, despite what conventional farming “wisdom” taught.

I started growing dahlias and have been adding more and more beautiful things to my garden ever since.

In October 2023 I was presented with the unbelievable opportunity to acquire Australia’s sweet pea seed bank. Having grown sweet peas since I was a child, I jumped at the chance to be custodian of an amazing number of varieties, and I am looking forward to continuing to grow and supply these seeds both for our Australian market as well as our international customers.
