18.01.2022 Sorry its been quiet around here lately! Freckles and I have been on a month-long camping trip around northern NSW and southern Queensland, enjoying some country serenity and northern sunshine... but were back now and ready to start hunting down some plants! My next trip to the growers will be towards the end of next week so, to all those who have requested plants, Ill be taking along my request list and will be in contact with you individually.

I hope all of your plants are happy, healthy and surviving winter! :)

17.01.2022 Hi All, Sorry for the lack of updates these past few weeks, Ive just returned from a trip to NYC and had a great time checking out whats happening in the way of indoor greenery. My favourite was meeting the folks behind Tulita the mobile greenhouse. Check it out if you havent seen it before: http://staging.tula.house/truck/... I totally underestimated how little time Id have for organising my upcoming plant sale in amongst the holiday so Ive actually decided to postpone the event three weeks so I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. The good news is that the main reason Ive rescheduled the event is so that it coincides with the delivery of some new and exciting plants that I havent had available at previous sales. Ill provide some more information on the event page once I have the plants in my hot little hands but I hope you all can make it to the new sale on Saturday 29th April. Ive created a new Facebook event page so stay tuned for updates. Hope to see yall there! KFPH :)

Just send me a message to tell me what time youd like to come by and if there are any plants in particular that youd like me to set aside for you. Also... do you need a place to put all of those pesky extra life-sized chocolate Easter eggs? How about these animal ...egg cups? Ive still got many left and they make great gifts!
