What a beautiful little find 🌿 From the moment I walked in, this plant and pot shop felt calm, welcoming and thoughtfully curated. Every plant looked healthy and loved, and the selection of pots was stunning! Unique, stylish and clearly chosen with care. The owner was an absolute standout. So generous with their time, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me find exactly what I needed. There was no rush, no pressure, just honest advice and great suggestions. A real passion for plants that made the whole experience feel special. To top it all off, a soft breeze flowed through the space while I was browsing, making it such a peaceful and enjoyable place to linger. It was one of those moments where you don’t want to leave, relaxed, inspired and excited to get home and pot up my new plants. I’ll absolutely be back and can’t recommend this shop highly enough. A true gem, run by someone who clearly loves what they do 🌱✨

Such a beautiful space all year round. Beautiful afternoon light comes into the venue and a great place to gather for private events. Lauren was so helpful through our entire experience.

The Borrower Nursery is always such a vibe. I’ve been to so many beautiful events here over the years and it never disappoints. The space is stunning, relaxed, creative, and full of the best energy. Whether it’s an event, workshop, or just a wander through the nursery, it always feels inspiring and welcoming. One of those Gold Coast gems that just gets it. ✨🌱

We recently had the pleasure of photographing Ash’s 40th celebration at The Borrowed Nursery and wanted to share our positive experience working with Lauren. The venue is truly amazing for photography; the earthy, rustic country vibe combined with the fresh greenery provided a fantastic opportunity to capture great shots easily. If you are planning an event with a warm, natural aesthetic, we highly recommend this wonderful location and working with Lauren. Thanks, Chris & Erika Photography Gold Coast

We had the entire day was seamless and stunning all of our guests were in awe of how beautiful and gorgeous it was and Lauren made the whole process of planning and organising a breeze I couldn’t have imagined a more magical day Thank you so so much for everything Lauren!
