About me
About me
I’ve been pottering since 1982. At 40 year of age, I began to question the daily grind and want something more. I'm still working but I have embarked on this journey to turn my hobby into that something more.
I have found a space that is inviting and calm and I have the ability to help others find a similar space by sharing my love of plants and foliage.

My name is Christine McCallum. Born in Darwin, Northern Territory Australia, I have lived here for 30 of my years and call this tropical land and lifestyle my home. I am married and have three children.
I grew up in this tropical paradise surrounded by palm trees and bush but also spent 10 years living in a more temperate climate in South East Queensland. I have fond memories being surrounded by beautiful gardens, flowers and pot plants when I lived with my Mum, an award winning open gardener in Toowoomba, the Garden City and host of the annual Carnival of Flowers.
My plant interests died down while my children were young but when a good friend bought me a Monstera deliciosa for my birthday in 2018, the flame reignited and my plant collection began to grow once more.
Building on my experience with plants, I am currently studying Horticulture at Charles Darwin University.
