I LOVE this place!…read more I only come here for their wonderful selection of plants and delightful nik-naks, but if you combine that with Sarah's Sisters Sustainable Cafe adjoining, and the furry chickens - then this excellently eclectic emporium is a must for all lovers of the earth! I've yet to come here and leave empty handed! Today is no exception!

Much more than just a garden shop selling plants, this place is located in a delightful old…read morebuilding which has had many incarnations. The plants are in excellent, healthy condition a sign they are well cared for and a massive range on display. Other garden needs are catered for such as fountains, ponds, pots, garden wall decor, outdoor settings, lighting and the list goes on. There is a side section supplying a range of mulches, fertilisers, etc and it's a good spot as it won't stink up the shop. Prices are moderate to high but so appealing to want to have a splurge. It's open 7 days a week. You may want to go next door to Sarah's Sisters cafe for a coffee or light snack and find yourself looking into the garden shop you've just been, so sit back and contemplate your next purchase from a different perspective.

There are a number of stalls in the market claiming to be organic and all of that junk. To be…read morehonest I don't really give a crap, but really the only way you can guarentee such things is to grow your own. Therefore, the most organic stall in the Central MArket has to be Prettejohns (Stall 4)! Prettejohns sells.....wait for it......plants! Well, mainly seedlings, but they will grow into plants! You can get Herbs, vege's, fruit and pretty flower plants that will go nicely in you back yard or a pot! They really cram a lot into the stall, so take some time to check it out! More than anything, I actually just like the stall as a break from the other stalls, working out which is more economical 3 mangos for $5 or 6 for $10 confuses me completely!

A broad range of herbs, various types of vegetables as well as a few flowers, a wonderful aroma arises from the sea of green which is Prette Johns. The staff here are lovely and helpful, and willing to field enquiries as to ideal growing conditions and planting tips.

I'm going to start this review by stating that I am *not* a gardener - I like looking at gardens,…read morebut I'm definitely not someone who likes getting my hands dirty ;) My partner, on the other hand, LOVES gardening, and has been a member of the Diggers Club for a few years. After a big night out in the city, I suggested that we swing past the Diggers shop in the Botanic Gardens, since we hadn't visited before. Unfortunately, parking was a bit difficult on Plane Tree Drive, but it was still quite nice to walk across the lawns to get to the shop. And what a shop! Although I don't like gardening, I am an artist, so appreciate the aesthetics of this establishment - all the pretty seeds lining one wall! My partner was in heaven - she loved the fact that they don't stock everything in the catalogue, but only the plants that need to be planted now. The seeds that should be sown now are labelled as such - it's all very practical. The staff are very friendly, and are knowledgeable - I assume they may have some sort of horticultural background. All in all, this is a place that even non-gardeners can appreciate!

I love Diggers. I love their online shop, the newsletters, the various awesome things you get as a…read moremember of the Diggers club, not just the discount on plants and supplies. The store in the Botanic Gardens is a bright, airy space, with beautiful glass overhead and is situated close to the cafe and overlooking the Mediteranean Garden. There's a wide selection of seedlings out the front and various tools as well. Inside is more supplies for the garden and a wall full of seeds, just about every seed you can imagine and then some more! The staff are very friendly and helpful, and there's a coin jar if you want a plastic bag. And if you want to take a look at the beautiful Museum of Botanical History, the door to that is adjacet to the Diggers shop. So you can look at history, then have a coffee, then buy some plants and stuff for the garden! Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in gardening, whatever your knowledge and skill level may be.

There is lots to like about Mitcham Square Florist…read more The flowers are fresh and colourful, and you can buy pre-arranged bunches, or you can order what you want. The flowers are set out on stands and they really catch your eye, you cant help but stop and have a look if your walking past. I wish my husband would buy me more flowers. Last time I complained though he came home with half a cauliflower...

Located within the Mitcham Shopping Centre, this place will produce gorgeous flower arrangements set to brighten anyone's day. I'm not a girl that expects or even loves flowers, however it's always nice to be a recipient nonetheless. I believe it's the thought behind the gesture that make flowers one of the sweetest gifts- next to chocolate of course. The flowers within this pretty florist are reasonably priced, colourful and arranged perfectly. With so many gorgeous bouquets on display, this is a very busy little shop that is worth the visit. Just gorgeous!

When I moved into the city near the Central Markets I had this secret fantasy that I would pick up…read morea fresh bunch of flowers every weekend and arrange them in my home. Unfortunately after $20 dropped at Bunches one Saturday afternoon, I realised I couldn't keep up this Eliza Doolittle charade financially or creatively for very long. The service at Bunches is pretty thin, but they will make you some recommendations if you um and ah annoyingly long enough. The weekend "sell off" prices are not bad either at around $9-12 for a bunch of the basics (lilies, daisies etc). Arguably though, I can get the same for a little bit extra elsewhere and have the bunches arranged for me. The range is less than Central Market Flowers around the corner but the prices are slightly cheaper and the flowers do last at least a week and a bit indoors.

They are FREE people! Flower Folly is a bright and cheery little flower shop that sits just out the front of KMart at Firle. There isn't too much about the store that makes it any better or worse from other florists, so it is more of a case of if you are close and need a bunch to get your GF to get off ya back then the job is on!

The store sells the traditional bouquets and boxed flowers and all are prepared in front of your eyes in the beautiful white and airy shop. The best thing about Flower Folly is that delivery is available and FREE if the flowers are being sent to the Women's and Children's Hospital. Sending flowers to someone in hospital may be a traumatic time for some people and this great service really helps out the customers and sets them apart from other florists. The prices are reasonable and although there are big displays available, there is something in everybody's price range. If you head to the store in Longwood as well you can get farm gate fresh flora at farm gate discount prices!

Newman's Nursery is set in the Foothills of the Adelaide hills in the North East. There is one word…read morefor it - Beautiful. Their setting is lush, green and beautifully landscaped. I was coming here when I was little and it was like being let loose in a secret garden. We would always end up playing in the cubby houses and running around the little paths into different areas of flora. You genuinely forget that this is a place of business, it is actually somewhere you visit with your mum, sister, nanna or girlfriends for a gorgeous tea, coffee or sunday breakfast in their 'Tapioca Cafe' - set in a perfectly themed cottage. You can even do high tea events here, which would be a unique and perfect idea for small groups for baby showers, birthdays or bridal showers. Newmans Nursery specialise in camellias and the staff are passionate and knowledgable. Just seconds up the road from the Gully hotel, but feels like miles from anywhere, this place is just the tops.

Myself and my mum came for a look through the nursery and decided to stay for brunch. We sat…read moreoutside and found the views of the hills and surroundings stunning. The gardens surrounding the café are extremely well maintained and create a lovely environment. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was simple, but nice. I had the scones with jam and cream with a soy latte, which was delightful. Mum liked her bacon and eggs. The nursery really is the star of the show, give yourself a good 30-45 minutes to browse, we found staff really helpful and knowledgeable.
