The Banksia Pod
The Banksia Pod - Where Flowers Meet Community
Tucked among the rows of our native flower plantations, The Banksia Pod is more than just a farm shop – it’s our way of bringing the farm gate straight to you. Created by Native Avenue, it’s a space designed to strip away the distance between grower and community, giving you direct access to the freshest native flowers the moment they leave the paddock.
Here, seasonal banksias, proteas, billy buttons, gum, and other native favourites are harvested, bunched, and offered to locals and visitors alike. By keeping everything farm-direct, we ensure your flowers are not only fresher and longer lasting, but also sourced sustainably and responsibly – with no long supply chains in between.
But The Banksia Pod is about more than flowers. It’s about connection. It’s where small family growers and local producers are championed, where florists can plan ahead and order straight from the source, and where the Fleurieu community can stop by to grab a bunch of colour for the week. It’s a place for conversations, neighbourly catch-ups, and building a culture of supporting local.
Every bunch picked up at The Banksia Pod is a story of South Australian soil, family-run farming, and the people who choose to buy local. By visiting us, you’re not just taking home flowers – you’re helping keep our community strong and sustainable, one bloom at a time.

Discover our beautiful flower cart, a favourite spot for locals seeking fresh cut native blooms.
