Hi all, just wanted to give a bit of an update on Hobby Propagations. The last year and up until now has been a bit of a rocky road. Last year we lost our beautiful grandma, and grandad has needed to go into full time care and at the moment my younger brother is in hospital after having multiple strokes and cancer removal. In all the chaos we needed to move house and get set up again and also busy with my actual job and spending time with my son. So the position im in with Hobby Propagations is that I'll be going back to what I started out as and thats being a Hobby.
As much as I want to grow the business right now, im going to take a little step back. Plants are my absolute passion in life so Hobby Propagations wont be going anywhere, I probably just wont have as much available for sale like the previous years.
Once spring comes along and the plants start to wake up, do keep an eye out on my socials and Facebook Marketplace for what I do have up for grabs and at this stage all sales will be pick up only. I will always be propagating plants, hybridising them for new and exciting hybrids for the future, so stick with me as many exciting things will come in the future.
In the meantime if you're starting out on your plant journey I highly recommend you check these businesses and hobbyists out. W.A. Carnivores , RedRock Nursery , Venus Flytrap-Creations , Yelverton Protea Farm , Karnup Nursery - Arid & Exotic Plants , Owys Garden Nursery & Landscaping , Australian Native Nursery and Kalamunda Garden Festival just to name a few but there are so many more amazing local businesses here in Western Australia. Oh and not really plant related but definitely check out Chantell's business Made with Lovell in Busselton for all your cake needs (her Instagram got hacked but is available on Facebook)
Thanks everyone for all the support its always very much appreciated. Im here but not here so if I miss messages, its just cause I have alot on my plate at the moment.
Much love, Josh 💙
