Botany is a sustainable online florist based in Melbourne. We take the traditional florist business model and give it a green overhaul, by offering products that have been created from farm to door without any single-use plastics or unnecessary packaging. We create all of our beautiful arrangements using only locally grown and seasonal flowers, and arrange them into glass vases that ensure your flowers arrive fresher and ready to enjoy! If you are as serious about sustainability as we are you will love sending flowers with Botany.

East Coast Wildflowers

My father and I started farming together in 1984, our family has been involved in the cut flower and

foliage industry either as growers or florist for a number of generations. I live on the NSW Central

Coast Australia. Our main farm is at Mangrove Mountain and we wholesale our flowers and foliage

at Sydney Flower Markets where we have market stands and warehouse facilities.

On our farm we specialise in growing Australian flora, in the field as well as in greenhouses. The

main species that we grow are Anigozanthos, Eucalyptus for foliage and flower, Actinotus (Flannel

Flower), Grevillea, Telopea, Rhodanthe, Bracteantha (everlasting Daisies) Ptilotus (Mulla Mulla)

and a wide range of other interesting Australian wildflowers, we aim for year round production.

East Coast Wildflowers is one of Australia’s leading wholesalers specialising in Australian

Wildflowers and South African Proteaceae, we source cultivated flowers and foliage from most

states in Australia.
