🌿 Wild, textural & beautifully Australian.

A native arrangement filled with movement, texture and those little details that make Australian botanicals so special.

Natural tones, sculptural shapes and a touch of the wild — bringing a little piece of the bush indoors. 🤎

🌿 Foraging on the five acres today

A little wander around the five acres this morning, gathering wattle and a few other beautiful botanicals to hang and dry.

These little treasures will eventually find their way into packaging, candle making and styling — giving things a little piece of the land they came from.

And, of course, I wasn’t alone… 🦎
A few tiny lizard friends popped out along the way, along with all the other little discoveries you make when you slow down and actually look.

Birdsong overhead, the rustle of the bush beneath my feet, and a morning spent gathering what nature has so generously given us.

Foraged from our five acres.
Made slowly.
Inspired by the land. 🤎

This small bunch of artificial real-touch natives this morning is all inspired by texture, texture, texture.

Look at these beautiful textures of the banksia, gum nuts and the beautiful sedum spray.

Grateful. Beautiful. Simple. 🌿☀️

As a florist and a creator, I have always had a deep love for Australian bush flowers and natives. 🌿

It’s the incredible textures that draw me in — from the leaves and blooms to the foliage, sticks, pods and seeds. There is so much beauty in our Australian landscape.

Here on our five acres, I’m lucky enough to be surrounded by an abundance of it — gum, wattle, grevillea, proteas and so many beautiful native foliages.

There is just one little problem… my gorgeous kangaroos think some of my native flowers are rather delicious! 🦘😂

So, rather than picking what grows naturally here or watching it disappear, I’ve decided to let my garden remain exactly as it is — wild, natural and full of life — and create arrangements that can be enjoyed forever.

I’ve been playing with some beautiful, incredibly lifelike artificial natives and botanicals, creating everlasting arrangements inspired by the beauty growing all around me.

I’d love to know what you think. 🤍

Would you be interested in having one of these beautiful, everlasting Australian native arrangements in your home?

If you love them, I’ll keep creating them…🍃

🥚🌿 Clever little chickens…

Our beautiful girls have delivered their very first two eggs! 🐔🤍🥚🥚

And of course, they chose the first day of spring to do it. 🌸 What a gorgeous little gift from the girls to welcome a new season.

The sun is shining, the gardens are waking up, the birds are singing, and there are two little eggs sitting in the basket. It really doesn’t get much sweeter than this.

Welcome, Spring. Happy Spring! 🌿☀️🌼

What a gorgeous, glorious day.

Enjoy every little bit of it. 🤍

Growing quietly all by itself…
swaying in the breeze…
waiting for the right little hands to discover it, pick it, and make a wish.

Perhaps that’s the magic of living close to the earth —
sometimes the most beautiful wishes are already growing quietly in the garden, just waiting for us to notice. 🌿✨🤍

And somehow, this little moment feels even more magical to me…

Only recently, I picked up my pencil again and began drawing this picture — a little thistle down growing here on our five acres, and my gorgeous daughter as a little girl, running freely through these very fields.

It’s only just begun, with so much more still to draw and complete… but already, I’m looking at it and thinking, wow.

Perhaps it was meant to be, a beautiful little message from the universe. 🤍

Good morning from The Acreage Journal 🌿

What a glorious way to start the morning.

Birds singing, the sun slowly coming over the trees, and that beautiful stillness before the day begins.

I love these quiet little moments in time — sitting and taking it all in before the hustle and bustle of normal family life begins.

There is something so special about the mornings here on the acreage. Just nature, stillness and a moment to simply breathe.

Slow mornings. Simple pleasures. Country life. 🤍🌿

There is a beautiful hum across the native garden on the acreage today, as the bees gather in their hundreds. Their gentle chorus is one of my favourite sounds of winter.

Every year, I wait patiently for one very special flower to bloom… the Eastern Waxflower. It has always been my absolute favourite.

The tiny rose-coloured buds slowly open through the softest shades of pink before revealing delicate white blooms. Not only are they breathtaking to look at, but they are also irresistible to the bees, who seem just as enchanted by them as I am.

When cut for a vase or woven into a floral arrangement, the Eastern Waxflower fills the room with the sweetest citrus fragrance. A simple bunch on its own brings such beauty, freshness and a sense of calm to any home.

I also love pairing it with beautiful pink proteas. Together, they create one of my favourite winter combinations—soft, textural, fragrant, and completely timeless.

Sometimes it’s the simplest gifts from nature that bring the greatest joy. 🌸🐝
