East End Flower Market<\/h1>\n

New to the Adelaide Florist scene and nestled in Adelaide\u2019s East End, you\u2019ll find this beautiful flower-filled space that is brightening days around Adelaide, and sending local Instagramers into a bit of a spin.<\/p>\n

Owner Justine Ellbourn is the vibrant, fresh + lovely lady behind East End Flower Market. Her presence is warm and inviting, her flowers are wrapped in love. And you know, there’s apothecary bottles and terrariums propped in the windowsill and so alluring, that you can\u2019t not venture inside.<\/p>\n

In the words of Justine: “the warmest moments in my day are when someone smiles and asks me for a bunch, but to do whatever I feel is right for them. They trust me to know their style, and what they are after. I choose my version of themselves, or the person they are buying for, and express it in floral form. I get to share my love for something with, often, a stranger. We get to connect on a level and I think there\u2019s something special about that.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Little Love Co.<\/h1>\n

Sitting pretty in the heart of the bustling Norwood Parade, Little Love Co. is a beautiful haven filled with bright blooms and abundant foliage, so exquisite that I sometimes wonder whether it\u2019s been secretly uprooted from the winding streets of Le Marais in Paris.\u00a0Owner Haley loves to work with flowers in their most natural form, celebrating what is seasonal, beautiful and unique.<\/p>\n

Settle Petal Co.<\/h1>\n

Spending her weekends frolicking the local markets to support handmade businesses in South Australia, and popping up her own stall here and there, Kayla of Settle Petal Co. is breaking the rules of floristry by turning her art and love of flowers into something edgy, quirky and fun.<\/p>\n

Kayla\u2019s love for flowers came from her mother, and her business name inspired by hearing it too often by her father, when she needed to take a \u2018chill pill\u2019.\u00a0Amongst working full time in Wine Logistics and spending quality time with her loved ones, Kayla spends her evenings and weekends with her other love: flowers.\u00a0At Settle Petal Co, Kayla likes to like work in odd numbers, experimenting with colour and flowers and not being afraid to try something different.<\/p>\n

Ponder Posy<\/h1>\n

For owner + floral creator Rebecca, Ponder posy is about flowers – a posy full of heart and gentle chaos. It’s about crooked stems that won’t fit in a vase and broken leaves that let the sun shine through.\u00a0It’s about watching\u00a0petals fade, crinkle, decay even,\u00a0and eventually fall. Die –\u00a0let them stay there, where they have fallen.\u00a0It may be even more beautiful than when they were fresh.\u00a0Ponder and muse. The art of a flower arrangement.<\/p>\n

You can find Ponder Posy creations propped outside the front of Tinker, on The Strand, Colonel Light Gardens.<\/p>\n

When visiting this gorgeous Balhannah hideaway, I stepped inside to flooded light, creaky floorboards and an oasis of green. Then I met Estee \u2013 bubbly, disarming smile and completely lovely \u2013 and I was greeted like a beautiful friend I\u2019d not seen in years.<\/p>\n

Austin Bloom offers fresh bunches, posie parties, weddings\/events, botanical installations and immersive experiences.\u00a0Austin Bloom is driven purely to challenge and push the boundaries of traditional floristry. \u00a0Architectural shapes and lines are important – and the balance of colour and texture is key. They use many varieties, including soft flowers and native flowers, combining these in unique ways.<\/p>\n

Estee, having studied both glass and graphic design, looks at flowers as a palette of colour and structure from which to create forms and designs.\u00a0 In her words,\u00a0“there is certainly a nostalgia with flowers, one that takes me back to my childhood, my father’s garden, the Sunday school posy, and my mother’s love of all things pretty – to this day she is never without short stems in collected vases along her kitchen window sill.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Let it be said, I really wish they offered their florist space as an office space by the square metre, because I would happily set up my workspace at the window. With the crisp morning hills light, Cocolat cafe next door and lovely blooms surrounding me, I\u2019d likely never leave!<\/p>\n

Estee is also running Mother’s Day Posie Making Workshops at Fox Gordon, King William Rd, Goodwood – very few tickets left,\u00a0so hop this way<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 quickly! “Workshops are a wonderful way of connecting with the community and a brilliant opportunity to share with others what we are passionate about. \u00a0We have found it rewarding and encouraging to see participants so content with a sense of achievement,”<\/em>\u00a0says Estee.<\/p>\n

Poppies Flowers<\/h1>\n

An unassuming shopfront on the ever-hectic Glen Osmond Road, when you step into Poppies you will be transported headlong into an enchanted forest. A towering flower display stands before you, with vintage bathtub filled with water lilies and reeds\u00a0off to the left\u00a0. I spy lemon branches, billy buttons, Queen Anne lace, burnt orange and copper autumn leaves and dreamy dahlias (my favourite) and my heart beats faster. On the countertop are orange-spotted toadstools steaming up a bell jar, with persimmon + pomegranate fruits and haphazard twigs propped, and poppy flowers twisting organically towards the sun.<\/p>\n

Owner Sally lives and breathes her craft \u2013 her passion is unquestionable.\u00a0At Poppies you can anticipate seasonal compositions infused with true personality and unique style.\u00a0Sally is an avid collector and with enviable secret sources, finding the right pieces is a challenge welcomed. An elegantly rustic anthology of mason and medicine jars from Paris, London and New York, rickety vintage crates from as far and wide as Amsterdam and as local as the Adelaide hills, cinema pews and old bentwood chairs all sit pretty in the space, fastidiously collected and vintage-everything for hire at Poppies.<\/p>\n

The Rose and Radish Garden Farm is a small, closed-loop farm in Piccadilly in the Adelaide Hills.\u00a0For Rosie and Oscar, having a bunch of fresh flowers is about being able to take a little piece of nature and bringing it inside, staying\u00a0close to gardens, forests and flowers\u00a0no matter where you are.<\/p>\n

Rosie says,\u00a0“I see our arrangements as small, seasonal glimpses of the\u00a0nature that surrounds us on our farm; cow parsley and plantain from the paddock;\u00a0foxgloves and roses from the cutting garden; apple leaves and quinces from the orchard;\u00a0and buckwheat and carrot flowers from the veggie patch. Using leaves and flowers from every little corner of our land (and wildflowers from the roadside!), we gather bunches that are evocative of our countryside, little pieces of our world.<\/em><\/p>\n

One of our favourite things to do to is source seeds and plants which will flower at just the right time of year, with just the right colour and style to match exactly what an\u00a0individual bride wants. It’s a long process, but so exciting and satisfying.”<\/em><\/p>\n

On their farm, Rosie and Oscar grow flowers along with veggies, fruit, hops (and plenty of wild weeds). They arrange flowers at the farm and sell posies at nearby cafe The Piccadilly Kitchen and at markets, as well as using our seasonal blooms and branches to style weddings and events.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure it\u2019s been said before – but walking into Flowers by Alice is a little like falling down the rabbit hole of Alice in Wonderland. It\u2019s another world. There are window frames and doors to hidden worlds, ladders climbing high to the lofty ceiling and a spectacular display of grandiose blooms, foliage and terrariums. Alice\u2019s blooms are flowers of distinction, with grand contemporary forms and rainforest orchids colliding with english garden blooms<\/p>\n

“We pride ourselves on our weekly ritual of constantly renewing ourselves, with a spectacular, ever-changing panoply of flowers, flowering plants, succulents and foliage, and contemporary wares from all over, sourced from the best local, interstate and international growers; continually inspired by every aspect of a flower \u2013 a woody-corky stork, a pimpled lotus pod or the heady fragrance of a gardenia.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Alice has over 10 years experience with all things floral, is an accomplished artist for all designs, simple and elaborate.<\/p>\n

Ivy Shed<\/h1>\n

When I visited this quaint Adelaide Hills nook in the heart of leafy Stirling on a rainy autumn late afternoon, I felt like I had stepped into a storybook. Sitting at the back of Patch cafe, is Ivy Shed: Bespoke Flowers and eclectic gifts. And that it is; a rustic stone barn shed housing a vivid display of seasonal blooms, foliage and potted plants.<\/p>\n

Owner Deborah honed her craft at Rococo in Darlinghurst, Sydney, before returning to the Adelaide Hills to be among family and friends, her favourite cool-climate flowers, and the village-like vibe of Stirling.Ivy Shed is steps back from ‘high end’ to a style that is relaxed.<\/p>\n

Deborah says,\u00a0\u201cI’m constantly inspired and changing. I often use muted or nude colours, but I also love discovering new colours. I like to create clusters of flowers, then add interesting foliage such as herbs or autumn leaves to\u00a0achieve\u00a0a tonal palette that I might have in mind. I often look to nature and I aim to enhance what is already naturally occurring to ensure that what I’ve used in an arrangement compliments each other. Getting my hands dirty and getting back to the earth, doing jobs like raking or sweeping – it’s mundane loveliness that I relish.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Ivy Shed is available for creating blooms for an event, bespoke arrangements and everyday gifts. Ivy Shed is also available for private hire throughout winter.<\/p>\n
