THANK YOU, PENRITH! 🎪🌹🌿
What an incredible weekend! Our very first Penrith Collectors’ Plant Fair was a blooming success—thousands of stunning plants found new homes, and plant lovers flew in from all over NSW, VIC, and QLD to chase their unicorn plants.

Huge thanks to our incredible growers—you are the heart and soul of the Collectors’ family. Your passion, plants, and energy make the fair the treasure trove it is. It was awesome having @costasworld join us for Sunday Funday! And to the fabulous @leaf_an_impression for her popular and inspiring gardening talk on Saturday 🌿💚🌿💚

A special shoutout to the legendary & lovely Robyn Bible from the Australian Geranium Society, who has exhibited at every fair for 20 years—including our very first Spring fair in the Hunter last year!

Thanks to @tworiverswines for bringing a taste of the Hunter to Penrith, and to @travelrite_escorted_tours for partnering with us on our inaugural Cherry Blossom Garden Tour to Japan in 2026 with @lindarossgardens.

Want to partner, collaborate, or be part of the team? DM us or drop us a line—we’d love to hear from you.

We’re beyond grateful for your support—and we can’t wait to do it all again! Mark your calendars: the Spring HUNTER VALLEY Plant Fair returns 18-19 October 2025 in the beautiful grounds of Maitland Showgrounds.

Peony lovers, rejoice! Struggle to grow peonies in NSW? Meet your new garden obsession: ITOH peonies.

Also known as intersectional peonies, these beauties are a cross between herbaceous and tree peonies—offering the best of both worlds: lush, ruffled blooms, strong stems (no staking needed!), and excellent disease resistance.

Even better, they’re more heat-tolerant and have a longer flowering season, making them perfect for NSW gardeners.

We’re thrilled to report success growing ITOHs locally—and even more excited that you can snap them up at the @drewitts_bulbs Drewitt Family Farms stall (#57) at the Plant Fair. With 40+ varieties, this is your chance to add a showstopper to your patch!
