Small-scale florists hope to fill gap for romantics in Kununurra

Small businesses see an opportunity in a flower market side hustle in a remote WA town after its florist of 30 years retires.

Small-scale florists hope to fill gap for romantics in Kununurra

In the remote West Australian town of Kununurra, romantics are facing challenges in expressing their affection to loved ones far away. The loss of the town's primary florist after 30 years has left locals scrambling for alternatives. Smaller flower farms are emerging to meet the town's intense demand, but the options are limited.

Bianca Brown, an agricultural transport business owner, has stepped in to fill the gap by assembling and supplying flower bouquets. The town's residents, like Gerald Contreras, are eager to use Brown's flower delivery service, despite the small scale of her operation. Another option is Sophie Cooke's family farm, where customers can visit during the dry season and purchase flowers for their homes or special occasions.
