It began at Scotsburn near Ballarat in 1856. Five generations later, and we're still in the Garden City!

Plants, seeds, and garden tools are available at our local Saturday markets (see below for the next market dates). Open from 9.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m, the Hollyhock Hill stand showcases a range of heirloom and open-pollinated flower, vegetable, and herb seeds, as well as potted perennials and top-quality gardening tools. In winter we stock tulips and daffodil bulbs, and in spring a wide range of tomato varieties and other vegetable plants are potted and ready for you to put in the ground.

The Ballarat Farmers’ Market is in Zoo Drive, off Wendouree Parade, at the North Gardens Reserve. They have hot coffee, food vans, local fruit and vegetables, baked goods, sweets, desserts, jam, beverages, vinegar, olive oil, meat, cheese, spices, grain, eggs, honey, and loads of specialty stalls selling homewares, country crafts, jewellery, local art, clothing, plants, seeds, bulbs, and lots more!
