About Serenity Plants

My journey with indoor plants began in 1975, at the age of 21, when I opened my first retail outlet in Toowoomba—also known as the Garden City. At the time, indoor plants were a major trend, and today, many of those same varieties are making a comeback, alongside stunning new hybrids.

With a deep passion for plants, I eventually expanded to three retail outlets, catering to the ever-growing love for greenery. While trends evolve, indoor plants have never truly gone out of fashion, and I have always remained an avid collector.

In 1997, my family and I relocated to the Gold Coast, where I transitioned into the fashion industry. This experience refined my eye for design, allowing me to enhance interiors by incorporating plants to create balance, vibrancy, and a sense of life.

My expertise comes from decades of hands-on experience—trial and error being the greatest teacher. And with today’s wealth of knowledge available at our fingertips, I continue to expand my understanding of plant care and styling.

All the photos and displays featured on this website showcase my own stock or plants from my personal collection. Every plant I sell has been nurtured with care, and I take pride in ensuring that each one is 100% healthy and free from disease. I also guide my customers in selecting the perfect placement for their plants, considering light, water, and airflow to help them thrive.

I’ve included a few images from my personal collection on this page—each one a testament to my love for plants.
