I have fallen head over heels with providing blooms for your weddings and special events! 🌷 Making someone’s bridal bouquet is an absolute honour and you just can’t beat that feeling as a flower grower and florist. ☺️

So that I can dedicate my time and energy to making your weddings, engagement parties, birthdays and anniversary celebrations something magical, I will no longer be taking orders for individual flower arrangements. I have loved providing these little jars of happiness to brighten your days, celebrate your special times and spread the love. 💗

However, my popular fortnightly flower jar subscription program will continue! The subscription program is $30 / delivery and you can choose to start, stop and pause your subscription at anytime… no questions asked. Just send a message if you would like to join so you can enjoy locally grown fresh flowers in your home, workplace or business too. 💐

Time to help out the sisterhood!!

Tomorrow (Wednesday 14th February) is Valentines Day. If you know a special person who deserves a jar of fresh, locally grown flowers, including these gorgeous dahlias, tag their partner below to give them a hint. 😉 Or better still, tag your own partner!

Sorry there aren’t red roses available because most of them are imported from overseas (which is why they are ridiculously expensive!) and are full of chemicals. Blue Lake Blooms is a sustainable floristry business which means I only use locally grown blooms which are in season. And who doesn’t LOVE dahlias?!

🩷 Medium flower jars: $30
❤️ Large flower jars: $65
🩷 Delivery within 10km of Mt Gambier: $7.50

Just send a message to order including a little message for the recipient. Payment can be made via bank transfer. Limited flowers available, so be quick!

Guess what?!

There are a few spots left in my flower subscription program! 😁 If you live within 10km of Mt Gambier CBD, I can deliver a jar of fresh, locally grown flowers right to your door or workplace every fortnight. 🚙

There is nothing better than enjoying beautiful, fresh flowers in your home or business! The flowers will be different each time as it all depends on what is blooming in the garden. 💐

Each delivery of a medium flower jar is $30. You can start, stop and pause your subscription at anytime (no questions asked!).

If you live out of town, you are also welcome to collect your blooms from my front door each fortnight. 😊

We made it to a year!!! 🥳 🥳 Today Blue Lake Blooms turns 1 and I wanted to say a huge thank-you to everyone who has supported my little business in my first year! Norman 🐾 and I appreciate each and every one of you more than you know. ☺️

Growing flowers and sharing them with Mt Gambier has been an absolute joy. 🌻 Flowers play such a special role in the fabric of our lives and I have been honoured to provide blooms for your celebrations, during your highs and your lows and to pay tribute to those who are no longer with us earth side. 💐

It hasn’t all been easy and I have doubted myself many times and wondered what I’m doing harvesting flowers in the rain, the wind and the dark to get your orders ready. 😂 I have struggled to learn how to use Instagram 🤦‍♀️ and have had the weather & pests destroy my flowers. But when I hand over a fresh jar of home grown blooms and see your eyes light up, I know it’s all worth it. 🙌

I can’t wait to continue on this journey and once again, thank-you to everyone who is coming along with me on the ride! I have a few exciting things in store for 2024… so stay tuned Mt Gambier. Much love, Katrina & Norman Xx

Flower patch chief supervisor Norman has lodged an OH&S complaint this week about the obstruction of his walkway around the flower beds. This issue has been caused by the sweet peas growing out of control! 💜🩷 Norman has requested that the sweet peas be harvested asap so he can get back to working at peak performance. (He is my only employee so I need to cater to his demands.)

Therefore, this Wednesday 29th November we will be delivering gorgeous bunches of sweet peas to your front doors Mt Gambier! $20 (including delivery) for a jar of these beautiful blooms which will make your home smell amazing! I love to keep mine on my bedside table. DM to order. 😊

🎄One month to go!! 🎄 Which means every spare minute here at Blue Lake Blooms is spent creating your beautiful Christmas wreaths.

All year I have been collecting leftover flowers to carefully dry. Norman 🐾 and I have also been searching the footpath on our morning walks for any interesting seed pods, gum nuts or pine cones which Mother Nature has left for us… all for this moment! ☺️

Each wreath is unique and are all created using locally grown blooms. There are no faux or preserved flowers in keeping with my aim to be as sustainable as possible in my business. If you would love a dried flower wreath for your home this year or to gift to a loved one, please send a message asap to place your order!

Hello Friday! Some lovely sweet peas going out to Blue Lake Blooms flower subscribers today. I harvested these in the pouring rain this morning so was looking like a drowned rat during deliveries… but it was worth it! ☔️ 🐀 They smell absolutely divine… enjoy ☺️
