Meet Shane from Botanical Traders Nursery!

As a qualified horticulturalist with a real passion for plants, Shane carefully selects and nurtures a beautiful range of greenery, from quirky cacti to colourful hanging baskets.

With Christmas just around the corner, Shane will be bringing along some beautiful seasonal favourites, including NSW Christmas bush, flowering hydrangeas, fuchsia hanging baskets, baby blue eucalyptus and plenty of lush indoor plants!

Meet Liyan, the creative behind Coastal Craft!

It all started over six years ago when Liyan and her daughter Mia made a little fish from driftwood they'd collected at the beach. Since then, they've transformed thousands of pieces of driftwood into beautiful, one-of-a-kind artworks.

Each piece is thoughtfully created to bring a little warmth, calm and happiness into everyday spaces. From tiny sculptures for your desk to special pieces for your home, Liyan loves finding beauty in the simplest things.

After five years at Olive Tree, one of Liyan's favourite parts has been meeting the wonderful people who find just as much joy in her creations as she does making them.

Come discover Coastal Craft at our next market!

For Zoe, one of the best parts of Olive Tree is being surrounded by so many talented creatives, meeting like-minded people and discovering something special along the way. She admits she never leaves a market without a little treat for herself!

Meet Donna, the chandler behind Blissful Sundays!

What started as a hobby in her home kitchen on a beautiful spring Sunday in 2018 has grown into a thriving small business.

Inspired by nature, Donna began creating scented candles for family and friends. With their encouragement and her husband Orlando by her side, Blissful Sundays has grown from the kitchen bench to an online store, weekend markets and stockists across Australia.

Through it all, they've stayed true to their passion for creating high-quality, eco-friendly candles that bring a little affordable luxury into everyday life.

Sustainability is also a big part of Blissful Sundays, with their recycle-and-refill program encouraging customers to return their empty jars to be reused.

Donna loves being part of the Olive Tree community, connecting with familiar faces, meeting new customers and sharing their latest creations.

We're so happy to have Donna and Orlando as part of Olive Tree! Be sure to stop by their stall and explore their beautiful range of nature-inspired candles.
