The future of Aussie Gardener is at stake

My heart goes out to you. For many years I was a partner in a small, apparently successful small business, but in the end rising costs-staff, equipment, vehicles etc-made it unviable. We are between houses at the moment as we plan a new build-we have yet to use the potato bags that were my last purchase!-but I will try to order something that we will want for our new home. Good luck, with best wishes for success in whatever the future brings, and the hope that it continues to be Aussie Gardener.

I am so frustrated. I do not want your store to close. I trust you all and you do have great products, the pest covers I use attest to this. Wish I could purchase more. I will get the hose I have been eying. I do not like google and never use it as it is a truly rotten company. Social media I don’t use as well so many trolls. I use a paid search engine that brought me to your store. Wish I could order more but like your wonderful store I am also struggling. Best wishes for your team.

So sorry to hear about your struggles.
I don’t understand why there isn’t more support from wholesome, quality in every way, local businesses who provide an awesome product and service.
Hopefully with the support of like minded people and your customers your business will continue to grow and thrive.
I will be making another purchase and more in the future.
Hang in there🤗

Hello, I’ve just placed an order. I’ve been really happy with my previous purchases. It’s obvious that you all love what you do and I sincerely hope you can work your way to a more sustainable business model!

So brave of you to make such a vulnerable and heartfelt plea. I think many people are struggling currently, and it’s a sad state of affairs when a fantastic Aussie business like yourselves who is dedicated to making quality products available to the market is looking down the barrel.

I will endeavour to make a purchase (we are very tight financially ourselves) but I’ll also share this with a few people I know who may also be able to assist with making a purchase. I’d also like to reiterate considering what someone else mentioned above, which would be approaching some other Aussie businesses who do a fantastic job providing a quality service to Aussie gardeners, and seeing if you can join forces to increase both of your reach. The Healthy Patch Formula, the Weedy Garden, and Self Sufficient Me spring to mind. Not sure if that would be a help, but reaching more people without putting so much of your profits into the pockets of the big tech conglomerates would have to help.

You will be in my prayers 💕

I’m so sorry to hear of the difficulties you are experiencing. Your products are top class, the quality, service and help I’ve received from you and your staff has been wonderful.
All my family have received gifts from your range of products, especially your great kitchen scissors.
As far as Facebook is concerned, I won’t buy anything from them, they are way too many scams, and I’ve been bitten a couple of times.
I wish you good luck in the future and hope that my small purchases will help to contribute to your success. Good luck for the future.

I am so sorry to hear what has happened to you. I wish I could help. I live in SA which is in a record drought. Shops are closing down due to debt etc. I really love your products & you have made me feel like a friend not just a customer. I pray things work out for you lovely people. God bless you all

Its great to do business with a small family concern and I hope you can turn things around.
Your products are excellent & I have purchased many over the years including the power planter, hose, veggie growing bags and the covers.
Good luck, hope you can find a way for your hard work to be rewarded.
