For thirty-four years, Sally Johannsohn has curated her garden at Neika.

Nestled in the foothills of Kunanyi/Mount Wellington in Tasmania,

The Plant Hunters garden is a tapestry of exquisite ephemeral plants interwoven with good doers -

creating a space of substance, cohesion and mystery.

Sally is a passionate gardener, whose interest in flowers led her to study floristry at the Constance Spry Flower School in London.

Once back in Tasmania, she opened The Flower Barrows and Bloomsbury flower shop in Hobart, which was followed by the move to Neika, where she began to grow unusual plants from seed.

A quarantine house was established and Sally was able to import some fascinating plants from all over the world.

Plant Hunters was born - a small mail-order nursery that hosted garden fairs in collaboration with other specialised nurseries.

Join Sally as she opens up The Plant Hunters garden for small workshops in Spring.
