Collecetor Cottage

There aren't enough good things to say about Rachel Torrealba, from Collector Cottage, and the heavenly dahlias that she grows on her micro flower farm in the village of Collector, 30 minutes north of Canberra.  Rachel is the heart and soul of her business, primarily growing dahlias, as well as other flowers, such as roses and chrysanthemums during the growing season.
