Meet the talented Lisa Addinsall! Lisa is an artist, flower farmer and mother who runs willowvioletandflora, a boutique regenerative chemical free flower farm in Tarrington - growing flowers the way nature intended. Learn more about Lisa in her own words:⁠
⁠
My name is Lisa and I have a 2.5 acre flower farm in Tarrington, Victoria, Australia. I have only been flower farming for a year, and thinking and planning for a few years beforehand. I have been a gardener my whole life and have been influenced by my mum who has always been able to create beautiful rambling gardens.⁠
⁠
I have 3 beautiful children and their partners and 6 gorgeous grandchildren who make the sun shine for me every day. ❤️⁠
⁠
I am also an Artist and have been teaching art from my studio and at schools for many years. I have always had a large garden and love being outside with my hands in the dirt.⁠
⁠
I love perusing gardening books and learning about growing plants and vegetables.⁠
I am very passionate about regenerative farming and growing produce in a chemical free environment. I want to leave this world a healthier place for future generations. I want my community to have access to locally grown fresh flowers and produce. I love flower farming and couldn’t think of a better job.⁠
⁠
Find out more about Lisa and her incredible work over the month of January as she completes the #floweramachallenge. And check out her incredible work at lisaaddinsallartist and see more of her produce at willowvioletandflora !⁠
