Guest: Caitie O’Grady – Springview Irises, Ebden VIC
Host: Rebecca Noble

Nestled in the hills of northeast Victoria overlooking Lake Hume, Springview Irises is home to hundreds of bearded iris varieties grown by Caitie O’Grady and her family.

In this episode, Caitie shares her journey from planting flowers in her childhood sandpit to running a thriving iris farm known for its colour, character, and care. We talk about:
🌸 The story behind Springview Irises and its stunning lakeside setting
🌸 Growing bearded irises for Australia’s climate — from soil to frost
🌸 Why irises are far more than just purple, yellow, and white
🌸 The joy of open days and connecting with people through flowers
🌸 The importance of supporting small, family-run flower farms
