Struth Cobs, Cobbettes n Cobbers.... Tomorrow will see me pulling my remaining stock off our website and Ebay. Our last dispatch will be this Monday.
Struth Cobbers Runnin a Online Nursery was Fun.
It kinda grew on me :- )
Letting go of the business was hard, but now I have peace most of the time.
I am not sure what the future holds, but it sure won't be boring :- ) I have applied for a job working in the drug and alcohol rehabilitation industry.
Making money so that I can continue working with the hurting, lost and broken is why I set up Plantinspirations 15 years ago.
I came out of that lifestyle nearly 30 years ago.
It took many years to heal and grow out of it.
So many people poured so much love, time and money into my life over the years to help set me free.
Not many people make it out, and they need so much love and help to do so.
I have already been to 2 meetings as I explore options on this.
I am excited in many ways as I launch into a new future.
I will keep you posted on what pans out via my subscriber emails.
Also... My imaginary friends, multiple personalities and I still have heaps of adventures ahead. Once the dust settles.... we will email you. Realistically it will probably be to ask for bail money :-)
Just a reminder that the Bacchus Marsh Seedling Farm Retail Nursery that is at the same address as me is still fully trading and going full bore. They are chockers with mega 1000's of great plants ranging from tubestock to much larger stock. They are not closing down. Paul and Lisa's Nursery looks great and they even have a cafe.

Sadly after nearly 15 years, Sunday the 12th of January sees us shutting down my nursery for good.
Our last dispatch ever will be Monday the 13th of January 2020
The Drought crippled us, the heatwaves tore chunks off our stock and the bush fires finished us off
:- (
Telling it like it really is...
Some would say...
Havin a whinge :- (
Nearly 3 years of drought and then the recent heat waves and bush fires have so crippled our sales that I have painfully come to realize that we have gone broke.
The last month has been the worst in a decade.
I can't pay rent, tax, wages, invoices and the debt is climbing.
It is time to let go.
January last year saw us have to close our retail nursery.
It took nearly a year to clean up the mess
Also in the past year I have been trying to clear the debt we went into in trying to survive and to get back on our feet.
10 Points for trying...
But.... Regretfully we could not do it.
3 years ago we had 14 staff.
Now it is just Jodi doing 15 hours per week and myself doing way to many.
It has taken me a long time for me to finally realize that it is time to let go and move on.
My new wife Kelly has put in over $10,000 in the past year of her own money in trying to help me keep my dream alive.
She has been so patient.
Enough is Enough.
I applied for my first job in 20 years today.
I am looking forward to having a regular income.
I will be closing down the www.plantinspirations.com.au website and our Ebay store next Sunday night the 12th of January.
So at the moment our current sale continues until I figure out what to do next.
