On the 12th and 13th of April, we packed up our pink peony print dreams and headed out to the Yarra Valley Plant Fair & Garden Expo, and what a blooming beautiful weekend it was!
Set amongst the rolling hills and vineyards of Wandin, the Yarra Valley Plant Fair is a plant lover’s paradise. With specialty nurseries, garden designers, botanical experts, and garden-inspired makers from all over Australia, it’s a weekend that celebrates everything green, growing, and gorgeously grubby. And we were absolutely thrilled to be a part of it.
🌿 Our Garden-Ready Gear Was Right at Home
It was our very first time showcasing Lickity Split in the Yarra Valley, and we couldn’t have felt more at home. Our stall was bursting with colour and character, we had everything a garden gal could want.
We met the loveliest people, green thumbs, flower lovers, and curious wanderers who stopped by to chat, try on our dungarees, and have a bit of a giggle with us. There was something really special about seeing people light up when they realised our gear wasn’t just cute, it was made to be used.
🌞 A Few Highlights from the Weekend
-
Meeting our online customers in real life! We got to hug, laugh, and share stories with people who’ve supported Lickity Split from the beginning. There’s nothing like seeing someone try on overalls they’ve been eyeing online and fall in love in person.
-
Connecting with fellow Aussie small business owners. From locally grown rare plants to handcrafted wood creations and Japanese blades, it was heartwarming to be among so many passionate creatives.
👩🌾 Why the Yarra Valley Plant Fair Matters
The Yarra Valley Plant Fair isn’t just an event, it’s a reminder that gardening is alive, evolving, and full of joy. It brings together people who believe in slow days, dirty hands, and the pure pleasure of nurturing something from the ground up.
For us, Lickity Split is more than a brand. It's a way to celebrate the quiet magic of everyday hobbies, whether you’re elbow-deep in soil or just pottering around the backyard with a cup of tea.
And being at the Plant Fair was a perfect reflection of that. We weren’t just selling garden wear; we were sharing in the joy of it all.
📍 Until Next Time
If you missed us at the Yarra Valley Plant Fair 2025, don’t worry, we'll keep you in the loop on upcoming events! And we’re already plotting what new prints and pieces might make their debut at the next one. Keep an eye out, and in the meantime, you can shop our full range of women’s gardening overalls, tools, gloves and gear here.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, said hello, tried things on, or even just smiled at our stall. You made our weekend.
With love,
Lickity Split
