The space is bursting with Emma’s favourite natives – waratah, banksia and protea – plus the classics like peonies and lisianthus and other seasonal beauties. A Murphy Bloom bunch is not like the others. Emma’s curious and creative touch adds something very special and guarantees a few oohs and ahhs.
