About Bernadette and the Farm

I worked over a 30-year period as a commercial designer on a large-scale accommodation projects.  During that period I worked hard to put forward products that were sustainable and local. I studied permaculture for a year in 2016 with the vision of buying a local property in Western Suburbs of Brisbane. My Farm is based in the heart of Pullenvale.      We found the property in 2018 and spent the first years removing the weed and installing tanks, irrigation etc. I worked for a year with the locals at Brookfield Markets to see if there is any interest in the locally grown Native Australian cut flowers and due to the amazing feedback I decided to move forward with the dream and started planting, a section at a time. I also completed Certificate III in Floristry and became a qualified florist. My passion is driven after reading an article in Australian newspaper about importing our own native flowers from overseas countries. I love local, organic produce and our wonderful community.
