After my first small
Purchase with you I have ordered from you multiple times. As I’m not working these have been all of your more affordable items. They are all fantastic quality. I will have another look and buy if I can manage it.
Best of luck and hope you can keep it all going.

Hi Aussie Gardener Team
I’m sorry to hear of your financial difficulties.
Like many others have mentioned, stop using FB & Google paid ads (even if it’s for a while).
Just post and ask your community here to share.
I host a fundraising page on both FB, Google & Insta and can’t afford paid ads so I rely on friends, family and followers to share to raise awareness and funds. It’s working so far.
All the best
Cheryl

Was just wondering how much business comes about from fb & Google as I’m inclined to join the others to suggest dropping them, however, I think I found you guys from fb!
I don’t really have a garden just a few pot plants but I’ll mosey on over to the website & see if there’s something I can buy. You gotta love retail therapy eh 🤭
Best of luck for the future xx

Hoping our purchases help you to stay afloat. I totally support you in ditching fbook and youtube – hopefully your email customers can help you get above this situation and continue to provide great products and service for many years to come.

Hi Brian, I think I was one of your earliest customers as I bought 3 big garden screws (augurs) which I love but at that stage you didn’t have a lot of other products. Have since bought other products incl browny tarps which are still going strong keepin my veranda dry.
I advertised my music biz on fb and found they did not stick to my local area but the ads were all over Qld which was useless. I ditched them. Generally however with the policy of net zero everybody’s electricity is going up and people won’t have money for a lot extra. I have noticed over the last 18 months businesses closing down and the bigger stores have been having constant sales. When there were huge sales right BEFORE Christmas (the peak time for profit) as well as after, I told everyone to watch out and next thing I heard Millers, Rockmans, Katies etc had closed their doors all over Australia this was confirmation. So my advice is to make your decisions based on Australians facing big headwinds for the next few years. Good luck. Xx

Just purchased the dream hose I’d been wanting since buying one for my daughter a while back. Best hose I’ve ever used. Will have you front of mind for any upcoming gifts for family and friends. Your video took courage and vulnerability, as someone whose own business went under in 2010 after 15 years of struggle, it made me quite emotional. I hope you get through and thrive like the gardens your products benefit.

There’s also a great 2 hour Radio Show on Saturday mornings 8-10. Curtin Radio – Fay Arcaro and Rae Burton … loads of listeners every week… talk to them.
I love my garden apron and extras…I get so many comments as I wear when planting our knitted and crocheted poppies for RSLWA…It’s perfect!
