Loida De Leon grew up farming rice, fruit, vegetables and coffee in the mountains of Nueva Vizcaya on Luzon before settling in the Northern Rivers, where she turned that hands-on growing background into a garden centre beside Alstonville's heritage-listed former butter factory. The stock runs to seeds, seedlings and plants for home gardeners — vegetable and herb seedlings, flowering shrubs, roses and fruit trees among them — alongside basic garden products, rather than a large-format hardware-style range. De Leon is often on the floor herself, talking through soil, seasons and what will actually hold up over a Northern Rivers summer. It is a small operation built on personal knowledge rather than volume, open Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm, and Saturday mornings until 1pm, closed Sundays. Worth a stop for anyone building a vegetable patch or flower bed while passing through the Ballina hinterland.
