WELCOME HANGING ROCK FLOWERS 💐💐💐
This week Lismore welcomes a much loved local treasure back to the CBD, Hanging Rock Flowers, who have opened their doors in a beautiful new space on Keen Street.
Stepping inside the store is pure delight, the smell of fresh Australian natives grown on the owners own farm, beautiful displays, bunches of flowers, and gift shop full of locally made and sourced items.
FUN FACT: The beautiful hand painted Italian mural in the shop was painted by Dr Floriano Volpato. He introduced the first coffee machine to Lismore in 1958! and so began Lismore`s coffee culture! but it also shows the creative spirit of Lismore, and how stunning Australian natives can look anywhere, even in Italy! 🥰👌
