It was a privilege to build a Potting Shed for Southern Blooms Nursery here in the Huon Valley, Tasmania. The Potting Shed will be a dedicated work space.

 

 

Details:

Client design. Because the site is sloping, the client and I worked together and tweaked some design elements to maximise the inside working space. This allowed for a more practical and functional space.

Built to council regulations and guidelines.

Made from rough sawn Tasmanian Oak.

Client purchased salvaged windows, doors, and roofing sheets.

Client dug the holes for the foundations and will install salvaged floorboards to keep the project as cost effective as possible.

Outside the Potting Shed, the client is going to landscape the area and include raised garden beds.

Southern Blooms Nursery.

Southern Blooms Nursery runs in partnership with Bonny Banks Nursery. They specialise in harder to find plants and bulbs, including fritillaria, exquisite iris varieties, large crepe paper like poppies, hellebores and alliums, to name a few.

You may have seen their plant stall at one of the many Tasmanian events they attend; Tasmanian Nature Festival, Rare and Fancy Plant Sale at Kingston, Deloraine Craft Fair, Launceston Horticultural Society events, Longford Blooms, and Taste of the Huon.

Fresh and dried flowers are also sold on the day of events at the stall. Their next event is the Cygnet Autumn Garden Market held on Sunday, 13th April.

Southern Blooms Nursery has a newsletter (subscribe via their website, see link below) and they open their Tall Bearded Iris mail order each spring.

 

 

My work ranges from the smallest bespoke carpentry project right through to full home renovations and I don’t take any job for granted.

It is humbling to play a small part in Southern Blooms Nursery’s business journey.

With gratitude and thanks to Kirsty Button from Southern Blooms Nursery and photographer Andres Londono for the Southern Blooms photos.
