Kate - owner and grower at Twist Creek Flora
Hi, I’m Kate- the owner and grower behind Twist Creek Flora. I’ve just closed on my fifth season growing cut flowers on my one-acre property in beautiful, vibrant Yackandandah in north east Victoria.
Situated in the foothills of the Stanley Forest, we have an abundance of wildlife on our property including a recently-spotted resident koala! There’s also wombats, echidnas, yellow-tailed black cockatoos, gang-gang cockatoos and tawny frogmouths, to name a few. I grow chemical-free and strive to provide healthy habitat for local fauna whilst maintaining a productive micro cut flower farm (these two things are not at all mutually exclusive but instead are co-beneficial!).
My main crops are ranunculus, anemones and tulips in spring; dahlias, zinnias and strawflowers in summer and chrysanthemums in autumn. I provide wholesale to florists as well as direct to retail customers including DIY buckets and bouquets, and also sell seeds, plants, corms and tubers.
