After 50 years of growing a nursery empire, the three brothers at the helm of Flower Power knew they need to cut a site loose to fund the construction of the garden centre of the future.
Despite running 10 nurseries, the family business had never built one from the ground up, growing instead through acquisitions.
But that’s not to say the new centre hasn’t been decades in the making.
Flower Power’s chief executive John Sammut tells SmartCompany his family has always wanted to revolutionise Australian nurseries, so they jumped at the opportunity when the property market swung in their favour.
