"I'll never forget that - I cried then too"- Business Lessons with Katie Arena from Little Lyndoch Flower Farm and The Queens Quarters

Vocal About Local

There are lots of pretty instagram accounts - but one that stands out more than most is Little Lyndoch Flower Farm.
But it didn't start instantly with pretty flowers and a landscaped flower farm.
In this week's episode we are lucky to speak with Katie Arena who runs Little Lyndoch Flower Farm and The Queens Quarters with her partner Rob. Katie takes us from her lack of enjoyment in the Corporate world in 2016 to going all in and backing herself to create her dream. From renting without a rental agreement, discovering what GST is; ignoring Robs advice to just chill for a few months, only to commit to a pop up shop 2 days later - to finding the current farm that is now little Lyndoch Flower Farm - Complete with 8 ovens sitting in the front paddock.
Katie candidly talks about the journey she has been on from hustling to learn the art of floristry; how important self development has become in recent times and how they are now turning to attention to their upcoming Bloom Conference. Katie also credits Rob for bringing 6 dahlia's home from Bunnings and chats with Uncle Lucky as being the catalyst for them growing flowers.
We hope you enjoy this honest, fun and open discussion about Katie's Journey.
