Hey there, I’m Susan Fairbairn — a horticultural journalist with a knack for storytelling and a passion for crafting ceramic pots and mounts for orchids. Armed with a degree in communications specialising in PR and journalism, I’ve spent decades writing about the plant world and I’m still not done.
If you fancy adding a touch of unique charm to your orchid collection, check out my small batches of custom-designed Orchid Pots n Jewels™️ and mounts for sale.
They can be posted anywhere in Australia or you can pick up from my studio in Cardwell — conveniently located just off the Bruce Highway between Townsville and Cairns. Stopping here is an experience in itself with breathtaking views of the Coral Sea and Hinchinbrook Island, plus plenty of lovely eateries. Why not make a day of it?
