My story

Fourteen years ago, after some time in the Wheatbelt and the North West, my husband Andrew and I, our two little girls and our son on the way, returned to the South West and settled on living in Beautiful Bridgetown. Knowing we had arrived in our forever town and home, we bought a property along the Blackwood River that needed some love. As our family grew so to did our garden, home renovations and our connection to this serene place.

 Along with some Primary School teaching, Andrew’s gardening , agricultural back ground and work, we threw ourselves into the community, volunteer roles, and raising our family. Ever the searcher of creative pursuits I continued making natural soap, painting and sewing. After a few years of selling clothing and homewares at local and Perth markets, eventually with three other local artisans, I helped to establish and open Loft - a local shop filled with beautiful handmade products. During my time at Loft, I met very clever creatives including Linda, a local lady, with a floristry and aromatherapy background, who grew a field of flowers on her property. Her organic blooms would arrive and leave Loft in a matter of moments, along with the smiles on our customers faces.

Creativity and the arts has been my forever love and constant companion all of my life. My love affair with Monet, his paintings of the Nymphaea's and his garden at Giverny began many years ago while studying art and somewhere unexplainable is a place that resides in me that can only be reached when I’m surrounded by art and flowers. Monsieur Monet knew what he was doing and was known for his unapologetic commitment to his craft and ability to sit amongst his garden, plein air and paint flowers, endlessly. In early 2025 I decided it was time to be amongst flowers in a way I had always needed. Universally, Linda’s organic flower patch and business - Earth Blooms - became available to meet a new owner and lover of all things gloriously floral. So, with my creative daughters, my gardening husband, my handy son and Monet’s little voice in my head, Earth Blooms found us. A sustainable Micro Flower Farm full of seasonal blooms and a gorgeous flower shed became our new place to ponder, dream, snip, dig and create in. Earth Blooms Bridgetown was the creative dream turned into reality of one lover of flowers, passed onto the next.
