We're so excited to announce that in April we will be selling DIY flower buckets to the public! We have been hard at work building the new house and getting all the new garden beds in. Head over to https://www.woodsgoodsflowers.com.au/services-9 to see what will be available! 🌼🌸🌿

We’ve been REALLY quiet lately. Mostly because we are still getting to know our new land and growing climate and also working on building the new house! Every spare minute lately is spent doing something and our social media presence has fallen short.

We promise to start sharing more soon. For now, here is a photo from one of the best views on the property! Sunsets here are beautiful.

17/12/2023

We’ve been pretty quiet lately and that is because we have had A LOT going on! In 2019 we moved to Canada, started growing flowers, moved again a year later to a bigger piece of land, then in 2023 moved back to Australia to an EVEN bigger piece of land.

To say we are slightly exhausted is an understatement…..but we chose this path and can see that when we look back a year from now we will be beyond thankful for where we are at.

The present is a little overwhelming with sorting out water, shade houses, building a home, making new beds, connecting to a new community, cleaning up old farm land (lots of buried barbed wire), and flipping our growing schedule upside down.

We’re so thankful to each and everyone of you that continue to follow us on this journey, even when we are quiet. We promise we will start posting a LOT more in the New Year!

We wish you all an amazing Christmas holiday and hope you get to spend it with all of your loved ones.

Can all my gardening friends relate? Seriously, it’s the worst form of torture and the best type of joy all mixed into one. #gardening #flowers #farm #growing #garden #flowerfarm

Lols! The problem is real. #flowerfarming #seeding #growingfromseed #flowers

When my Aunty Eloise passed away last April, I wanted to do something for her that she would love. As she always loved our garden in Canada and especially picking sweet peas, the first upper garden we created was dedicated to her. It is known as Eloise’s garden. Everything is planted in 1-2 sq meters to give it more of a cottage garden feel rather than rows of 1 flower that we would typically do. Joel’s mum painted this beautiful planter as it reminded her of my Aunt and she planted this beautiful plant. My Aunt had the most beautiful blonde long hair and I love how this planter seems to capture her beautiful hair and remind me of her every time I walk by. #love #aunt #memories #grief #memorial #sweetpeas #flowers

🌸 Waking Up Your Dahlia Tubers: A Step-by-Step Guide 🌸 1️⃣ Check for Dormancy Before anything, inspect your tubers for rot or damage. Healthy tubers should feel firm and plump. 2️⃣ Soak for 2-4 Hours Give your tubers a little boost! Soak them in warm (not hot!) water to rehydrate and jumpstart the growth process. 3️⃣ Inspect & Divide (Optional) If your tubers have multiple eyes, now’s the time to divide them! Be sure to leave at least one healthy eye on each section. 4️⃣ Pre-sprout Indoors Place tubers in a warm, bright spot, and let them sprout for a couple of weeks before planting. You’ll see little shoots forming—this is your sign they’re ready for the garden! 5️⃣ Plant Plant your tubers 4-6 inches deep, with the sprouted eyes facing up. Make sure they get plenty of sunshine! Let the magic of dahlias begin! 🌷 What are your favorite varieties to grow? Drop a comment below! ⬇️ #dahlias #flowers #happyplanting #dahliatubers

Who doesn’t love Iceland poppies? 🌸 Iceland poppies are technically considered a perennial and can survive cold winter temperatures, but because they don’t handle heat and insects very well, they are typically grown as hardy annuals or biennials by flower farmers. This particular flower requires a good deal of care when started from seed because it is slow to germinate and the seeds are as tiny as grains of sand. #poppies #seedstarts #flowers

🌿 Propagating Snapdragons Made Easy! 🌸 Looking to multiply your snapdragon joy? Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to propagate these beauties: 🌱Choose Healthy Stems: Select stems that are healthy and free from disease. Aim for ones that are not flowering yet. 🌱 Prepare Your Tools: Get sharp scissors or pruning shears, a small pot filled with potting soil, and a water-filled container. 🌱 Cuttings Time: Snip a 4-6 inch cutting from the parent plant. Make the cut just below a leaf node. 🌱 Remove Lower Leaves: Strip off the lower leaves from the cutting. This reduces moisture loss and helps the cutting focus on root growth. 🌱 Rooting Hormone (Optional): Dip the cut end in rooting hormone powder to encourage faster root development. 🌱 Planting the Cutting: Make a hole in the potting soil with a pencil or stick. Insert the cutting into the hole and gently firm the soil around it. 🌱 Watering: Water the cutting thoroughly until the soil is evenly moist. Allow excess water to drain. 🌱 Create a Mini Greenhouse: Cover the pot with a clear plastic bag or a dome to create a humid environment. This helps retain moisture and promotes root growth. 🌱 Place in Indirect Light: Keep the cutting in a spot with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun which could scorch the cutting. 🌱 Monitor and Wait: Check regularly to ensure the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. In a few weeks, you should notice roots forming! 🌱 Transplanting: Once roots are well-established (typically after 4-6 weeks), gently transplant your new snapdragon into a larger pot or garden bed. Enjoy Your New Plants!: Voila! You’ve successfully propagated snapdragons. Watch them grow and bloom, adding color and charm to your garden! Have you tried propagating snapdragons before? Share your tips below! 🌿💕 #gardening #PlantPropagation #snapdragon #flowers

🌼✨ Ready to grow your own beautiful zinnias? Here’s a simple step-by-step guide: 1️⃣ Choose a Sunny Spot: Select a location with full sun and well-draining soil. 2️⃣ Prepare the Soil: Work the soil to loosen it, and add compost or organic matter for nutrients. 3️⃣ Planting: Sow zinnia seeds directly into the soil after the last frost date.

Once established, water deeply once a week. 6️⃣ Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to promote healthy blooms. 7️⃣ Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming. 8️⃣ Harvesting: Cut zinnias for bouquets when flowers are fully open. Enjoy the beauty indoors! 🌿💕 With these easy steps, you’ll soon be enjoying a stunning zinnia garden of your own! #zinnia #flowergarden #easytogrow #gardencolour #growflowers #flowers #flowerlover

The struggle is real 🐛 but we haven’t found anything yet that doesn’t harm the beneficiaals in some way. Yes, even “organic” options like Neem oil will harm the beneficials. Instead, we don’t plant massive rows of one flower and we use natural plants like marigold to repel pests. 🌸 Embracing sustainable practices by planting a diverse array of flowers and plants, we’re nurturing a healthy ecosystem and letting nature do its thing. #sustainable #beneficialplants #flowerfarm
