Welcome To Fay’s Garden

Uniting their passion for property and gardening, Whitsundays Property Services has expanded, opening a new store at the Whitsunday Shopping Centre that caters to the region’s plant lovers.

The idea began when owners of Whitsunday Property Services, Rhys and Karly realised they had too many plants at home and wanted to share them with fellow enthusiasts. This planted the seed of an idea to launch a side-business and Fay’s Garden grew into the flourishing wonderland of greenery customers enjoy today.

Fay’s Garden is an indoor plant store, named after Rhys’s grandmother, Fay, who inspired Rhys and created the love he has for plants today.

Fay’s Garden differs from other plant shops as they offer a unique level of service to all their customers.

“I think what makes us different is that everything is already done for you,” said Karly.

“We mix the soil to suit the plant, we offer repotting after 12 months, and have 1 on 1 contact with customers after they leave.”

Karly and Rhys maintain contact with you once you have left the shop, they email a plant specific care sheet to customers which includes all types of information, such as fertiliser information, ideal temperature information, pet safety, light and positioning information and watering needs.

Expanding on the store’s distinctive charm, each plant has been given a name. The couple say this has been proven to make people more likely to look after them properly. Karly and Rhys say the named plants have a calling to some people, with some customers letting the name choose their next plant.

Indoor plants don’t just look cute and provide a home with bright colours, they are also effective at clearing the air. They draw in carbon dioxide and other pollutants and break them down. Having them in an indoor space can also reduce stress, increase productivity and boost moods.
