Garden Kiosk: A Braer, Bacteria Books & Marsh Workwear Collaboration

A creative interconnected ecosystem housing Braer's flower studio, Bacteria Books’ bookshop, and Marsh Workwear’s shop and workroom, all under one roof. The Garden Kiosk blends a gallery space with curated products for everyday living.

Visit the Garden Kiosk for flowers, books, workwear, and ceramics, and explore a symbiotic space where art, design, and craft co-mingle. Come for the supplies and merchandise, collect your tools but remain for the revelations.

ABOUT BRAER

Pronounced bray-er, Braer is an old word for ‘briar’ which is loosely translated to mean ‘a tangle of wild roses’. We specialise in creative events, wedding flowers & art direction.

Braer Studio is home to a selected range of works created by Australian artists - working in ceramics, sculpture, lighting design, bonsai and experimental furniture. The studio is a flower shop / gallery heralding the beauty of nature at its core.

AT BRAER WE CREATE WITH THE IDEA OF ‘BEAUTY IN THE UNEXPECTED’. OFTEN, WE FIND JOY IN WORKING WITH MATERIALS THAT WOULD OFTEN NOT BE EXPECTED TO BE FOUND WITH ONE ANOTHER. NATURE NEVER QUESTIONS – BUT TAKES SPACE WITH CONFIDENCE AND SOMETIMES CONTRADICTION, A METAPHOR WE OFTEN MIRROR IN OUR WORK.

Sustainability is a core principle at Braer, our work revolves around the cycles of nature.
We care about the environment and use the finest in season, locally-grown flowers from across Australia.

ABOUT BACTERIA BOOKS

BACTERIA are our connection to deep time and environment. BACTERIA are our agents of change. BACTERIA sense, communicate and remember. BACTERIA shaped the world we live in. BACTERIA are our stewardship to all life on Earth. BACTERIA are the key to our existence.

BACTERIA BOOKS is an entanglement of something much larger than us. A contribution to culture and community through a place of assemblage, collecting, ongoingness. The visceral basket of the book. The intuitive vessel of storytelling. Continuous and simultaneous, a model that is never absolute, avoiding a linear chronology. A mycological exploration on a personal search for unexpected relationships and networks. A project founded for the cultivation of conversations and connectivity between artists and creatives through the medium of print.
