Phillip has working in the Melbourne Markets for over 40 years. He first started out in the Fruit and Vegetable market, where he owned his own wholesale business. Wanting a new challenge, he moved across to the Melbourne Flower Market and to The Tulip Garden Nursery. Where he has worked close to 10 years.

He loves working for The Tulip Garden Nursery, and has a good understanding of what florists want and need. Phillip has seen a lot of changes over the years and keeps up with what's in and what's not. Phillip has supplied many of Melbourne's leading florists and has good working relations. He can source and acquire flowers, and has a good rapport with growers and suppliers.
