Hi, I’m Joanna  

I’m a gardener, parent, artist and waterways engineer in Perth, Western Australia on Whadjuk Noongar Country. I usually paint with water colour, but I also play with other tools and techniques. I've lived in Western Australia my whole life, and have experienced a good part of it. I love how I can find flowers at any time of year, and there are so many plants with interesting foliage.

I am excited about working with other small businesses to create beautiful products for their customers, as well as encourage sustainable products and be part of the circular economy. It’s important to me that the entire lifecycle of a product is considered when developing it.

I run market stalls with my mum Jessica, who creates pottery for the garden. She hand makes each piece, and her range includes mosquito coil holders, vases, ollas and a new range of hanging wall pots for air plants.

I take my inspiration from my garden, bushwalks and my community in Western Australia. I love creating designs others can enjoy every day, that also make them a little bit more aware of the nature around them! I’ve been working on my native garden for a few years, and currently grow a variety of natives including:

• Grevillea

• Emu bush (eremophila)

• Dryandra

• Trigger plants

I also have a collection of fruit trees:

• Plums

• Nectarines

• Cherries (these don’t really fruit in warm, frost-free Perth!)

• Mulberries (the best producer in my garden! I have plans to get more!)
