There is no way you'll find even the slightest green tinge on my thumbs. No siree! The only workout…read moremy thumbs get is tapping on my iPhone. But a trip to the Small Business Award winning Elegant Outdoors (almost) changed all of that. Suddenly I started to fantasise about ferns, freesias and all manner of other flora. And just how hard would it be to master topiary anyway? All those beautiful flowers, pots and bags of lush soil...just imagine the possibilities! Fortunately I reigned myself in and limited my purchase to the potplant I had been sent to pick up for my mother, but still I dare to dream.
Dipladenias flower all year round!

A local favorite for a light lunch, afternoon or high tea. Charming indoor and garden settings…read more Friendly and family run. Offers a good selection leaf teas, nice coffee and some excellent cakes, all served on an eclectic collection of assorted real China crockery (only way to take tea in my humble opinion). You can browse the home wares or plant nursery too. Lovely on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

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?

The menu has a great choices of gourmet takes on traditional meals. Open BLTs, open meat pie, risottos and good choices for kids as well. We had a table of 12. Meals were prompt, delicious and the service was courteous, attentive and always with a smile. The atmosphere created by being immersed in a rainforest was perfect. Really warm feeling and the layout on a large deck allows you to have a feeling privacy as well. Place is very kid friendly as its fairly well sectioned off from any main road. This ones gets me 10/10. Thanks for a great day.

On the carpark side they sell landscape supplies and if you buy enough, they will deliver for you. You often see the trucks driving through the hills area. As all other landscape places today they have the ubiquitous cafe - called Secrets. Great for a cup of coffee and sandwich or pastry but don't expect much more. Most things are reasonably priced. Great for getting garden ideas as they have a few displays. One strange thing to remember, they aren't open on the weekend.

If you buy in bulk, you can negotiate a discount. Most of the plants are well priced .one problem I did have after purchasing about 40 plants for a hedge was that I was told they will have a batch the following Thursday. If I would like to return to buy more, so I stopped by on the Friday and they had none and it was driving one hour round-trip wasted. I was told to give them a call and they will get more in after numerous phone calls I gave up..

The venue has a range of flora, as well as tools, irrigation and accessories. They also have an online shop on their website if a store is not nearby. There is plenty of parking available and is easily accessible as you turn off the main road. Flower Power has plenty of other stores throughout Sydney but this location is a favourite, attracting locals and customers from afar. It is one of the largest Flower Power shops, with the staff informative and helpful. Avoid the Flower Power store at St. Ives- the flowers and plants look very sick, indicating that they might not be well looked after. The nursery at Terry Hills have plants which are fresh, healthy and well looked after.
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 :)
