Dish the Dirt

Small Farm, Big Heart – Pretty Little Flower Farm with Sharon | Season Finale


Listen Later

In this final episode of the season, host Rebecca Noble chats with Sharon from Pretty Little Flower Farm in Seville, Victoria. Sharon shares how her love of gardening, a lockdown during COVID, and a fascination with dahlias sparked a journey into flower farming — one that’s bloomed into a thriving roadside stall and a meaningful connection with her local community.

Growing on just 400 square metres, Sharon proves that you don’t need acres to grow beauty — just intention, creativity, and a whole lot of heart. She opens up about the challenges of balancing work and flowers, how she designs her seasons around sustainability and sanity, and the pride of representing micro growers at the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show as part of Growers Avenue 2025.

Plus, an important post-recording note on insurance for roadside flower stalls — a must-listen for anyone selling from home.

  • Sharon’s journey from gardener to flower farmer

  • Starting small: building a farm with salvaged materials and big dreams

  • The magic of her roadside flower stall and why Saturdays are non-negotiable

  • Why she’s committed to only growing in summer – and how that helps prevent burnout

  • Her experience as part of Growers Avenue 2025 at MIFGS

  • Giving back to her community and keeping flower farming sustainable

  • Advice for anyone starting out with limited space

  • Important insurance tips for roadside sellers
