For lovers of vintage wares and floral magic, a visit to Tenterfield just wouldn’t be complete without stopping in at White Cottage Flower Farm located at 193 East Street. The idyllic little white cottage in the middle of a country garden is home to the things dreams are made of. After you make your way through the front gates and meander down the garden path, Mandy will welcome you with a friendly smile. Time will get away from you before you know it as you get lost exploring the vintage and farmhouse wares.
White Cottage Workshop Space
This place is a photographer’s dream with picture-perfect scenes presenting at every turn. Look down and you’ll find tiny treasures nestled throughout the hand-selected furniture sourced from near and far. Look up and you’ll be in awe of the dried floral installations hanging above doorways. Look across and you’ll be delighted to see multiple rooms to explore. Fresh flowers and seasonal everlasting wreaths are also available for purchase. Mandy also hosts floral arrangement workshops, which is the perfect way to spend a few hours with good company in the stunningly beautiful glasshouse space. If not for your own creative pleasure, this experience would make the perfect gift for the floral-inspired creatives in your life. These workshops need to be booked in advance, so if you’re making a special trip, be sure to get in touch first.
Book: A Tree in the House by local author Annabelle Hickson
And while we’re on the subject of dreamy floral inspiration, if you’re looking for the perfect pressie for the flower lover or aspiring florist in your life, the book ‘A Tree in the House’ by local author Annabelle Hickson might be the perfect choice! It is pretty enough to be a permanent addition to the coffee table and practical enough to act as a trusty go-to for flowers for the home, special occasions and every day. You can buy the book online, as well as from many of Tenterfield’s local retailers.
