A summer of sweat and spikes has got the cactus talk shop at @timbermillstudios looking like a botanical gardens 🌵

I’ve spent the season sourcing, landscaping and propagating.. growing an already massive collection of arid and drought tolerant plants for you to choose from! Come down and say hello and get inspired by the wild beauty of the cacti kingdom.

🌵☀️ VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: CACTUS TALK ☀️🌵

We are so excited to welcome @cactus_talk to the Aussie Plant Fest lineup! 🎉

Cactus Talk is our closest local vendor. Cactus Talk Founder Callum is right here in the Illawarra, and we couldn’t be prouder to have a homegrown cactus business on board. 💚

Callum’s story started over a decade ago, when his brother gifted him some cactus cuttings. Watching those cuttings take root and come to life lit a spark, and that hobby soon took over his home before growing into the thriving business it is today. 🌱✨

From spiky statement pieces to cacti with colourful flowers and even some that fruit, Cactus Talk is proof that a little patience (and a lot of passion) goes a long way. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting out, there’s a cactus out there for everyone. 🌵💪

Local. Passionate. Seriously spiky. This is exactly the kind of vendor that makes Aussie Plant Fest special. 💚

📍 Come check out Cactus Talk in person at Aussie Plant Fest, 17th October, Bulli NSW!

Came across this big old scopulicola and couldn't resist knocking on the door. Next thing I know I'm on a ladder chopping the top off it and digging it out to bring home. 🤠
With spring kicking into action it's time to get some cuttings going around the garden and offer them up to you crazy cactus loving peeps in the next few weeks. 🌵 by @cactus_talk
