Welcome!
I’m Melissa the creator behind My Little Potting Shed and this little flower farm.
We are a small scale flower farm located just outside Benalla in Moorngag Victoria. And it’s here where I have converted the old horse stables into my studio and potting shed.
My husband and I purchased our little farm in 2022 and it all started with 9 raised garden beds, for a picking garden to fulfil my need for flowers and then I was truly hooked.
We have an acre of flowers now and my main flowering season is from Spring to Autumn, with only a few things over winter. We grow seasonal cut flowers in open fields, and are proud to be environmentally friendly and have a sustainable approach, which includes no nasty sprays.
My horses contribute with their poo, and my two dogs keep me entertained inthe field. I'm in the garden, each and every morning harvesting, planting and weeding. I lovingly select the seeds and plant, I plant and nurture them, carefully pick the blooms, and then arrange and design them, just for you. They are more than just flowers, it’s the end result of a wonderful journey.
We grow a selection of different flowers in varying quantities from Dahlias, Zinnias, Cosmos, Strawflowers, Billy Buttons, Feverfew, Amaranthus, Scabiosa, Snapdragons, Roses, Hydrange, Achellia, Larkspurs, Stocks, Sunflowers and Ranunculas and a few different natives and other ones that I just have to try !! :-)
I’ve been creating flowers all my life and owned a successful retail flower store for many years. I have always loved creating beautiful things and remember as a little girl picking posies from my family garden and now I have to pinch myself that I’m so lucky to be doing this as a grown-up.
I love the joy and comfort that flowers bring to people at all different times in their lives and just want to share my flowers with others.
Life led me here, and I couldn’t be happier.
Thank you for supporting My Little Potting Shed
Old school hand picked flowers, grown the old fashioned way, naturally.
