With a professional background in musical theatre and three small children, Courtney Johnston admits to having felt a little isolated on her dairy farm.
But the 28-year-old's creativity has blossomed after she and husband Wade transformed a calf paddock into a fledgling flower farm.
Ms Johnston has cultivated colourful rows of blooms, including native paper daisies, straw flowers, zinnias, cornflowers, sunflowers, statice, pink baby's breath and poppies, from seed bought from an Australian company that plants a tree for every purchase.
