FROM a side hustle to a flourishing business in the heart of Landsborough, Hinterland Foliage boasts an ever-growing range of trending and much loved plants as well as locally made pottery.
Owner Troy Beck shared there’s nothing better than wandering around a nursery with a local coffee in hand on a sunny winter’s day and is pleased to be able to bring his dream of owning his own nursery in the local area.
“I started out mainly online in the early days, but had always had a goal of having a shop front,” Troy said. “COVID actually gave a big boost to the plant industry and then our current premises became available last year… and now we’re looking to expand in the coming months.”
Troy shared the reception since moving from online-only to shop front has been really well received, “it’s great talking to the local community and getting to know them – everyone is so friendly and approachable.”
Troy prides himself on offering a well-priced selection of plant varieties with knowledgeable and friendly advice and enjoys building those relationships with others in the community.
“There are so many new and exciting plant varieties constantly coming out, I’d have hundreds of different types in stock at any one time,” Troy said.
“What’s available on the market now, compared to twenty or so years ago, is amazing and so well priced. It’s great to be able to pass that on to customers.”
And plenty of plants he has, all sourced locally. His favourite? Understandably, it changes daily.
