Blooming Heck

Spring has arrived with lots of vibrant colours!! Anemones, daffodils, Icelandic poppies and many more spring goodies all curated in a gorgeously wrapped joy jar. You can pull up to the flower shed at 19 Niven road and just pop your jar inside your car cup holder. Just remember to top the water up in these daily to get the most out of them. $30 a jar and and a neat way to have some colour on your table or counter top at home or in a shop!
There are also dried arrangements in the shed for $130 each. Instructions for payment on the left of shed inside the door.
Happy Spring 🌼🌸

Just made these spring bunches up to kick off spring flowers. They feature some very pretty apricot toned double daffodils and lots of other spring goodies. taking them to the gate shed now. They are $30 each 😍🌸

Hey just thought I’d use this 80s trend that is circulating to re introduce myself.
I’m Penny from Blooming Heck. Or Penelopez as I was known travelling 😅
I was a kid in the 80s and I really loved growing flowers back then too. We always had school garden seeds and I was a keen participant!
Fast forward 40 years later with a life of adventure, travel, nursing, ski seasons around the world and lots fun in between and I’m now growing flowers for my small business in Otatara living with my family.
Apart from growing flowers I think travel is my second biggest passion. I’ve been to 50 countries that I can remember and there are many places I would still like to go. I would love to ski the Dolomites if I can one day!!! So I better get selling lots of flowers like this beautiful bunch this summer
I think I like this 80s hairstyle too. Might try to replicate it for real 😍🪻🌺

Just came across these photos from a few years back in Autumn when I decided to have some timeout with my deadheads and spare blooms decorating the front gate by my flower shed. To me playing with flowers can be like painting a picture. It can be nice to have time away from mundane jobs just to recharge and refocus alone in my head. A time to come up with new plans and ideas. Maybe sometimes it’s an escape from reality of life like playing music or singing. No worries if it fell apart and didn’t last as nothing is forever in life… this is a guarantee.
Like life, flowers aren’t meant forever, one blooms for a few days or a week. The plant flowers for a season then rests and rises again.
Playing with flowers is a passive therapeutic horticultural experience. It’s considered passive horticultural therapy as the blooms are the byproduct of horticulture. This is something I have studied and am passionate about. Passive horticultural therapy is a very healing experience too 🌱🪻🪴
