I tend to have a Medusa-type effect on the humble plant, striking them dead with a glance and without even trying, I swear. My mother tells me gardening comes with age. I'd better get a move on. My experience at this casual garden centre has been in buying plants for other people, and the staff has proved friendly and knowledgable. The space is clear and well sign-posted, enough for me not to mistake a native for an indoor plant, Diggers heirloom tomatoes for edging. I think I should spend more time here, perhaps something'll rub off.

There are quite a number of nurseries around this area and my house owner decided to stop by here…read morefor a quick tea break (sort of lunch). Walked into the stores that sell the potted plants that you can purchase. There are some knick knacks too around the front area of the store and an indoor plants area on the right corner (upon coming in). Noticed a lot of new types of plants/flowers and some common ones. The layout was pretty organized and they even labelled the rows of plants accordingly so that it is easier to find. After the store, we popped by the cafe on the side. There are indoor and outdoor seating area and we sat outdoor. Was given a menu upon entering and we are supposed to order our food over the counter. The main dishes are on the pricier end but I can't really say much as I didn't see the portion. Decided to go for a mixed berry smoothie and a citrus tart instead. The mixed berry was alright as some of the berries are not fully blended in. But the touch of honey made the taste a little different. The glass was tall and definitely worth it for the money. The citrus tart. It came with two bobbing whipped cream and some different jam on the side. The tart was incredible. It was sour yet sweet on the top and crispy on the bottom and the side. One of the best tarts I've had so far. More like a combination of passion fruit and lemon meringue pie. Overall, I'm glad that the house owner stopped by here to let me try out the baked goods at the cafe :)

They even had an entire section of pots and planters, some locally made by artists. My favorite thing was the little skull planters with a cactus in it that looked like a brain. They even called it "The Brain." I also found a very pretty peperomia, which I wish I could have taken home. It was nicely variegated and I haven't seen those colors before. We parked across the street and down the road but it wasn't a far walk at all. We had come from a small cafe.

Newtown Garden Market has everything you need to make your flower or vegetable garden thrive, or make your indoor herb garden ever-so fruitful. There are countless varieties of plantables, yes. But there are also plenty of things to fill your outdoor space with artsiness and style. I couldn't help but marvel over the tin garden sculptures of animals. Fashioned out of recycled materials (or so it seemed), these creatures are creative and somewhat abstract. Position one or two next to a solar powered gurgling bird bath and you might never want to leave your garden again. For me, I was drawn to the succulents. Spiky, cute, and virtually un-kill-able, these little bad boys are my favourite. Maybe it's because they also make me feel like a bit of a badass. It's not true, but a girl can dream, can't she?

All power to them all, and their homegrown tomatoes and their pansy window flower pots. This place reminds me that people LOVE their plants, and are happy to spend a weekend hunting for a car space in a hot parking lot, just to get themselves some green, and some big bags of over-fed soil. Flower Power is big, crowded and hard to wheel a trolley around in. But it does its best to offer EVERYTHING, and in that respect it does a more convincing job than Bunnings (at least in terms of plants, not so much in terms of pots and gardening accessories). My gripe is that it's not cheap at all, even though going to a big warehouse makes you feel like you're getting a good deal - but the price tags tell another story. The health of the plants is generally quite good, though. The staff seem quite knowledgable but generally you will be left alone to wander (for hours, if you like), in this sprawling place.
