KATIE GILLETT’ will put a permanent bush shop front to her wildflower and native plant business from this weekend.
The retail doors of Inglewood Wildflowers will open  the first time and mark the latest expansion of the business established by Katie Gillett.
She purchased the property, between Inglewood and Kingower last year and said “it’s the ideal property for a retail nursery.” 
“We decided this weekend would be the perfect time to open as the Loddon Arts Trail is on and has events in both Inglewood and Kingower so people can stop in on their way between them,” Katie said. 
The nursery has been selling native plants wholesale and at markets for the past three years but will now have dedicated opening days for the public. 
Inglewood Wildflowers had a stall at the Inglewood Spring Market last Friday and at the Australian Native Flower Show in Bendigo over the weekend.
“It was great timing because we were able to promote the opening at both events and had a lot of people saying they were interested already, both from local people and from people outside of the area,” Katie said.
Katie has worked in the horticulture sector for almost 30 years and has been able to use that experience to develop the nursery. “I figured I might as well just give it a go,” she said.
