Why supporting local Florists in Albury-Wodonga matters more then ever..

Behind every small business is a story..

In today’s ever changing expensive world where convenience often leads us to big corporations, supermarkets and fast options, choosing to shop local has never been so important..

At Thistle & Fern i’m not just a business owner.. I am a mum navigating motherhood while pouring my heart into creating something meaningful for our community. Each day is a balance of early mornings, feeding my baby, supporting my team, and showing up for our customers in the best way I can.

The constant anxiety of being able to pay rent, pay staff and keep our prices down is overwhelming. But yet I choose to show up each day and keep moving forward because our community needs us and we need them.

And i’m not alone in that..

Our team are locals.
Mums, sisters, creatives, hard workers.. all showing up each day, doing their best, creating beautiful flowers and genuinely caring about every single order that goes out the door.

When you choose to shop with us and local florists, you’re not just buying flowers.

Your’e supporting

Local families, local jobs, local growers and suppliers, a dream that’s being built day by day.

It allows small businesses like us to keep going, to keep creating and being part of the community that we love so much.

So whether its a posy jar, a bouquet for someone special or a simple “thinking of you”.. please know your support means more than you could ever imagine.

When you look at our prices please.. instead of thinking “Thats expensive”.. think about what we are spending that money on. Some weeks there is no profit for us to take. We are just surviving and hanging on after we have paid rent, utilities, fuel, the cost of goods, staff .. the list goes on.

So please.. shop local and support this community.

For our regulars and customers..From the bottom of our hearts, THANKYOU for choosing local 🙏🏼
