A new family-run flower farm has opened in Ninderry, supplying locally grown, seasonal blooms to the Sunshine Coast.
Owned by Treanna and Joel Woods, Woods Goods Flower Farm offers bouquets, DIY flower buckets and florist-quality wedding arrangements to the community.
The couple’s love for flowers began while living in Revelstoke, Canada.
“During the height of Covid, we started a small flower farm,” Ms Woods said.
“What began as a way to stay grounded during an uncertain time quickly grew into a full passion project and business.”
After several years overseas, the couple returned to Australia in August 2023 and chose to settle in Ninderry.
“We fell in love with the lifestyle and community here,” Ms Woods said.
“How good is it to be able to live on an acreage and be within 25 minutes of the most beautiful beaches in the world.”
Establishing the farm came with challenges, particularly adapting to Queensland’s climate.
“The shift to Queensland’s heat, humidity, unrelenting pests and unpredictable rainfall required a complete rethink of our systems,” Ms Woods said.
Extensive groundwork was needed to improve soil health, water access and infrastructure to their farm.
“Much of this work has been hands on and time intensive, but essential for creating a sustainable foundation,” she said.

Despite the challenges, the response from locals has been overwhelmingly positive since opening.
“Locals have embraced the farm with genuine enthusiasm, and that support has played a huge role in helping us find our footing here in Ninderry,” she said.
“What’s been especially encouraging is the number of repeat customers who return week after week — people who not only love the flowers but are excited to follow the journey of a small, growing farm.”
Woods Goods Flower Farm is now supplying wholesale to the Sunshine Coast Flower Market, connecting them with florists and stockists across the region.
The couple say current bouquet trends across the Sunshine Coast are leaning toward soft, romantic palettes and relaxed, natural styling.
“Weddings in particular have been dominated by pastel tones — think blush, peach, soft butter yellows, and airy whites — paired with loose, garden-inspired arrangements,” Ms Woods said.
“Alongside the pastel trend, there’s been a big surge in requests for a ‘wildflower’ aesthetic. People love bouquets that feel freshly gathered from the paddock: textured, whimsical, and full of movement.”
Dahlias are proving to be the standout favourite.
“They’re easily our most in-demand flower of the season, and every year they sell out,” Ms Woods said.
One of the farm’s most popular offerings has been its DIY flower buckets, which allow customers to create their own arrangements.
“What people enjoy most is the freedom it gives them,” she said.
“Instead of choosing a premade bouquet, they can play with colour, shape, and texture themselves.”
While growth is planned, quality remains the priority.
“Growth is definitely part of our long-term vision, but never at the expense of quality,” Ms Woods added.
The couple are grateful for the community’s support.
“Starting a farm is never simple, but the support, curiosity, and kindness we’ve received has made the journey feel incredibly worthwhile,” Ms Woods said.
“We’re passionate about keeping flowers local, seasonal, and grown with care — and we hope our little farm in Ninderry continues to bring colour and joy to the community for many years to come.”
