Many of you have seen and loved the bouquets of flowers in the shop 🌸
Homegrown by me, they’ve been brightening the counter, sparking conversations and bringing a little extra joy into the space.
This season hasn’t been the easiest… between a busy shop, uni and life, the garden has been slowly nurtured in the in-between moments. From a late start in the ground, a dry start to summer, and constantly fending off the chickens 🐓 it’s been a journey.
But somehow… they have still produced 🤍
My goal was simple, grow flowers for the shop, sell a few bunches and enter the Kempsey Show (after much encouragement and definitely outside my comfort zone).
And I’m so proud to say I did it 🥹
The dahlias held out for me and I came home with:
✨ 1st – Decorative "Fire and Ice"
✨ 1st – Ball "Salmon Joy"
✨ 1st – Pompom "Glenbank Little Angel"
✨ 2nd – Any other variety "Pinky o"
Something that started as a quiet passion project. A way to slow down, find calm, and reconnect has grown into something so much more. And now… award-winning flowers feels pretty surreal 🥹🌸
What’s made this even more special has been the conversations around the growing interest in homegrown flowers, especially among women in our community. So I’m currently in the process of organising a little afternoon where we can come together, connect, and swap dahlia tubers and seeds.
More to come soon… keep your eyes peeled, and share with your flower growing friends
Thank you for being part of it all 🤍
