This Month's Artisan Spotlight

Nestled in the heart of our community, Scent Sational Plants is a small independent nursery with a big passion for growing. Specialising in carefully cultivated plants for beds, borders, and hanging baskets, they bring colour, fragrance, and life to gardens across Ringwood and beyond.

Every plant is nurtured with expert care and a deep respect for nature, ensuring that what you take home is not just beautiful—but thriving. Whether you're refreshing a window box or planning a full garden makeover, Scent Sational Plants offers the kind of quality and personal touch that only a local grower can provide.

When you buy plants from a small local nursery, you're doing more than just gardening — you're investing in your community, your environment, and the long-term health of your garden.

Here’s why it makes a difference:

Plants grown locally are nurtured in the same climate and soil conditions as your garden. That means they’re naturally better adapted, hardier, and more likely to thrive with less intervention.

Small nurseries grow with care, not speed. Each plant is cultivated with attention to detail, resulting in healthier root systems, stronger stems, and longer-lasting blooms — not just a pretty face for the shop shelf.

Local nurseries often use fewer chemicals and more sustainable practices. Plus, buying local reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance shipping and mass production.

Every purchase supports passionate growers, local jobs, and independent businesses. It’s a direct investment in your local economy and helps preserve the unique character of your region.

Local growers know their plants — and your soil, weather, and challenges. You’ll get tailored advice, ongoing support, and a genuine connection to your garden’s journey.

 Choose plants with roots in your community. Visit your local nursery and grow something truly special.
