Fresh flowers direct to you
Farlows’ Floriculture offer fresh cut flowers direct to the public either from the Flower Truck or by pre-order and appointment at our farm gate studio at Bells Creek.
I am in the process of bringing a Flower Truck to the streets of the Sunshine Coast.
The intention of the Flower Truck is to sell Australian grown, seasonal fresh flowers direct from the farmers to you.
I will be selling individual stems, wrapped bunches and posy jars. Because the flowers are a seasonal product there will be peaks and troughs in supply. With different varieties available through the different seasons. Making this a very ‘organic’ business model. Which means, whatever I can grow and source from other growers is what I will be selling each week.
The truck ‘Sandy’ and I will be at set locations, at set times, on set days of the week. Flower Truck
Commencing early April 2021.
Thank you for following along and for supporting locally grown flowers.
Posy jars
Mixed seasonal flower varieties with shorter stems are available in glass jars from the Flower Truck. These are a weekly surprise. Totally based on what flowers I have available at the time.
Prices starting from $20.
Bunches
Mixed bunches available for pick up from the Flower Truck. Or by appointment and pre-order at our farm gate studio.

A little more about the flowers that I grow in our patch
What I grow
In line with the seasons I grow – Giant Zinnia, Double Cosmos, Stocks, Snapdragons, Queen Anne Lace, Sunflowers, Dahlias, Chrysanthemums, Calendula, Celosia and a few roses. Because I am obsessed with growing flowers I am always experimenting with different varieties so see what grows best in our little eco system. We are very fortunate to have a mild climate here on the Sunshine Coast and all of the basic varieties of cut flowers thrive here.
How I grow
Enrich the soil – We continuously feed the soil with our own worm juice and compost blend made with our green garden waste plus animal manure and mulch to help it retain moisture and prevent plant disease.
Crop rotation – We rotate our annual crops each season, to help maintain excellent soil health and minimise pests.
Companion planting – Aside from the benefits to our plants, companion planting uses our garden space more efficiently, letting us harvest more. The diversity that companion planting provides is also good for pollinators, wildlife, and soil health.
Why I grow flowers
Growing flowers can be hard physical work and I spend many hours on my own working in the patch. Some of the reasons why I grow flowers are:
- The rewards of picking beautiful fresh blooms and being able to share them with other humans is priceless to me. Hence my business slogan ‘Sharing the power of flowers’.
- I really do believe there is a spark of magic that happens when people gift flowers to each other.
- I enjoy the continual learning about all of the aspects of growing flowers and taking the time to watch carefully while mother nature goes about her business with a little bit of assistance from me.
- And most of all I enjoy spending my life with like minded people who love growing things. Anything! Just grow something. It is so good for your soul.
