Neighbouring Bulimba’s historic ferry stop, Stalks and Stems sits within a picturesque cottage space, spilling decorative flora onto Oxford Street. Founded by Fergus and Sep (of Alcove Cafe and Deli and Esher St Cafe & Deli) along with Belinda Marie Payne, the store is a fervent providore of beautiful floral designs and gifts. Having worked as a florist for ten years, Belinda-Marie is a master of her craft and enjoys creating inimitable arrangements for gifts and special events. Pop in to the handsome shop for locally sourced and unique treasures, naturally decorative pieces – such as terrariums and hanging kokedama balls – and artisan products. Keep your eyes peeled for the striped awning and tidy gardens as you near the waterfront.
