Meet the Owners of Daisy’s Garden Supplies
Get ready for an exclusive evening at Daisy’s Garden Supplies Ringwood branch, where you’ll learn about the inspiring story behind this generational family business that started from humble beginnings and now leads the industry in Garden and Landscaping Supplies. Daisy’s journey began over 40 years ago with a single truck and the determination of Neil and Margaret Mulcahy. Through hard work and a community-focused approach, the business now has 9 stores across Melbourne and the Bellarine Peninsula and is one of the largest suppliers in the industry. Once you have seen the Daisy’s yellow truck on the road you won’t forget it!
Now managed by the 2nd Generation - Evan Mulcahy and his brother-in-law - Daniel Palumbo, together they have successfully transitioned the business into a diversified family enterprise, continuing the family legacy with passion and innovation. Over the last 4 years, the family has completed their succession, setup a family office and continued to grow the core business whilst diversifying the family portfolio. With another generation at primary school the family is focused on developing a sustainable generational model.
Join us for an interactive Q&A session with Evan and Daniel as they share insights on industry trends, the growing demand for sustainability-conscious landscaping, and their use of the 20 Mile March Theory to achieve consistent performance. You’ll also get an exclusive look at the latest landscaping materials and have fun exploring Daisy’s unique Vintage Tractor and Kenwood Truck Museum.
This event is your chance to meet the Mulcahy family, connect with their dedicated team, and hear their story of resilience, innovation, and legacy development. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights, network with fellow Family Business Association members, and celebrate the enduring success of Daisy’s Garden Supplies.
