Fresh, local blooms at the heart of Thistle & Fern’s success

13 Feb, 2026

Thistle & Fern has proudly operated in Wodonga for nine years, becoming a trusted local name for fresh, meaningful floral gifts and beautiful blooms all year round.

Specialising in locally grown and thoughtfully curated designs that are fragrant and long-lasting, the business continues to flourish under the warm leadership of new owner, Miranda.

Taking over ownership in mid-June 2025 while six months pregnant, Miranda found herself nurturing two new beginnings, one at home and one in Wodonga’s CBD.

Renowned for its soft, natural, cottage style arrangements, Thistle & Fern remains one of Albury-Wodonga’s most loved florists.

“At Thistle & Fern, every arrangement is made with intention, creativity and a genuine love for what we do,” shared Miranda.

“We’re here to make flowers feel meaningful, personal and connected to the community we adore.”

Mindful and sustainable in its approach, each bouquet is carefully created to feel personal and heartfelt, using minimal chemicals and locally sourced flowers.  

Miranda says she is proud of being able to help other small businesses thrive in our region by supporting local growers.

The small but passionate team offers a warm and personalised experience to each project which makes selecting the perfect arrangement simple and joyful.

“I love working with such a hard-working group of ladies to create something beautiful every single day. It’s so rewarding being part of life’s biggest moments from celebration to the days when someone needs a little extra love,” Miranda commented.

“Work should be enjoyed and working with flowers is so special.”

Accompanied by an easy ordering experience and reliable delivery service, the business strives to make each of their customers days brighter.

“One of the most rewarding parts of owning the business is building heartfelt connections with our loyal customers and watching Thistle & Fern become a meaningful part of people’s homes, traditions and memories,” she said.

Beyond timeless floral arrangements and thoughtful gift packages, the business also hosts a variety of flower workshops where locals can bring their handcrafted ideas to life.

“Next year we are looking at more events but delivering local flowers for special occasions is our bread and butter and we love it!” commented Miranda.

With two locations proudly servicing the region in Kiewa St, Albury and Junction Square, Wodonga, Thistle & Fern offers both in-store service and convenient delivery.

Open hours are adjusted seasonally, with the Wodonga store currently open from Wednesday to Saturday, offering same day deliveries Tuesday to Friday. 

Add a visit to Thistle & Fern to your pre-event checklist, or simply treat yourself to a bunch of fresh, locally sourced blooms on your next outing in Wodonga.
