Stallholder of the week is Gill Muller from Southern Fleurieu Flora. She’s been selling native plants at the market for six years now, and knows the growing conditions on the Southern Fleurieu pretty well, as well as gardening herself in Port Elliot.
Gill sources nearly all her tubestock from State Flora Nursery, having worked there from 1999 till 2011 she can access the good stuff, a lot provenanced from around this area. If it isn’t local, it will be natives that will grow well in the area.
A passionate lover of native plants for over 40 years, there’s a rumor that if you watch the ABC Gardening Australia show in late August you just may see Sophie Thomson visiting Gill’s garden. Just a rumor mind.
And of course Gill is married to the very important John, on the Membership Information stand. Some time harp player to the busker, supplier of the back up music, as well as maintaining the Membership database, taking Membership fees and issuing cards, generally very important person for members, stallholders and the general public to have to come to!
