The New Flower Farming In Australia

Over the past few years there has been a beautiful revolution in flower farming across Australia. Led by amazing female flower farmers, small micro farms with chemical free practices have popped up across every state bringing #grownnotflown flowers to market.

In Queensland there is Flower Farmstead near Gympie where farmer Jen grows huge sunflowers and colourful snapdragons. In New South Wales there is the stunning Floral By Nature farm, run by farmer Celine in the Blue Mountains, featuring rows of zinnias and all varieties of dahlias.

In Victoria there is Florelie based in Ballarat and insta-sensation Wild Violet Flower Farm in Lilydale. Both are producing scores of beautiful seasonal blooms from ranunculus to daffodils to dahlias. And in Western Australia there is Allie from Aravis Flowers in Manjimup, 3 hours southeast of Perth, growing cosmos, zinnia and dahlias among other beauties.

Check out the inspiring images of the new female-led flower farming in Australia and be sure to support these farmers when you can!
