| 6/26/26 | ![]() 🌸 From the Archives: Petrina Blooms — 8,000 Bulbs in a Suburban Garden | Some episodes are time capsules. This is one of them.We're rewinding to late 2020, as Victoria emerged from its first long lockdown — gin raised, friends finally allowed over, the whole state breathing out. In the middle of it sits Petrina from Petrina Blooms: a lifelong flower obsessive who turned a suburban Ivanhoe block into a garden of 8,000+ bulbs and 120 roses, and who had just started selling bouquets completely by accident.Petrina has loved flowers since she grew a single perfumed carnation from seed in prep and wrote in her grade-six diary that she wanted to be a florist. She kept that love deliberately un-commercial for decades, working weekends as a florist's "bucket girl" because she never wanted to "curse a flower" by making it her job. Her path wound through years working with people experiencing homelessness, then to the skies as an Emirates flight attendant — earning the nickname "Flower Girl" for smuggling peonies, lilacs and frangipani home in the first-class fridge. After marrying a passenger and trading Dubai's seasonless heat for Melbourne's four seasons, she came home, felt utterly lost, and ordered four thousand ranunculus for a tiny terrace garden.From there it grew: a move to Ivanhoe "for the garden," a 40-year-old wisteria she refused to renovate around, a postnatal depression she gardened her way through, an open garden that welcomed kindergartens and neighbours, and — in lockdown, off a single Facebook message — her first bouquets for sale. A warm, funny, generous chat about old-fashioned flowers, healing and community.What we cover:(04:00) A carnation grown in prep and a grade-six diary entry(06:00) Becoming a florist's "bucket girl" — and keeping flowers casual(08:30) Bluffing her way into Emirates and life as the "Flower Girl"(10:00) Chasing flowers around the world — Switzerland, Munich, Dubai(13:00) Meeting Ricky on a flight to Vienna and the 4,000-ranunculus order(16:00) Henry, postnatal depression, and gardening as a way through(18:00) Buying the Ivanhoe house for its "bones" — and that wisteria(22:00) The open garden as a way to connect a quieter neighbourhood(24:00) Accidentally starting a business in lockdown(26:00) Chemical-free by choice — coffee grounds, bicarb soda, ladybeetles(28:00) Grown vs flown: why local and seasonal matters(34:00) Her best advice: plant what you love, and plant two in case one dies(39:00) The signature question: Pa's wheelbarrow, cosmos seeds, the wisteria(43:00) Rose tips, garden heroes, and a dream of a rose named after her🌿 Find Petrina: @PetrinaBlooms on InstagramWe've since caught up with Petrina five years on — what happened to those secret dahlias, whether the accidental business stuck, and whether Bec ever made it over for that gin.

Monbulk-Seville Road 😀17acres, boasting an amazing view of the YarraValley.We went from zero to 100 km per hour in a fast time. Our claim to fame is- Farmer Joe..His growing ‘highlights’ being- Hydrangea paniculataaaahhh! Ornamental Blossoms, AutumnalMaples, Daphne & his really yummmmy cherries.My interests are being neat😂 & then lots of foliage! Ninebark, Agonis & Geraniums list high in my list.We have failed with many of our farm choices, but we hope we are finally headed in the right direction.Weather is our biggest challenge- especially the wind! Our farm is not chemical free, but we do everything we can to limit them- we mulch a lot, for low weed activity & definately focus on the weeds, along with an addiction to grass mowing - helps keep bugs life low as they have no where to be.We do not use sleeves.But, we do use rubber bands.We have installed tanks & cleaned out our big dam. We rarely use our bore but have a big water license.I may have failed to mention in the chat- my customers are my total set my alarm & fill our truck inspo, but Eugalo Farm is my farmer inspo🌱Monvale Flowers / wholesale. Is located in the Melbourne Flower Market in Epping. We focus on Foliage, & try to have a seasonal bloom available always. Proudly & grateful that we are chosen by some really great local farmers & a couple of NSW ones to sell their product. We are just a little part of the industry, but we love it big time.I cannot wait to meet all the people at the Industry Day!Like - so looking fwd to it! Cannot wait. Monvale is way more than me- these thoughts are all from my perspective.. Farmer Joe is way more laid back, so his podcast would be way full of humour! I do have a little motto that has served me ok through time -The only competetion you have is you! I am not competetive with other Hosted on Acast.
