24.01.2022 Would you love to grow fruit and veggies, but don’t have the space at home? From time to time, we have plots available for lease, in which members can grow a wide range of produce for their own use. We will also have a limited number of associate member spots opening up from July. These memberships do not include a plot, but allow people to join in our working bees, attend social activities, learn about growing food and share in our communal produce. If you would like more i...nformation on either of these options, or wish to be added to our waiting list for a plot, send us a message via this page, or email us: [email protected] Normally we welcome in-person visits too, but unfortunately due to COVID19 restrictions, the garden is currently closed to non-members. So get in touch via the above methods and we’ll be happy to answer questions.

22.01.2022 Thanks for all of your amazing support during feijoa season. We’ve barely kept up with demand! You’ve helped us raise over $200 and hopefully have enjoyed plenty of delicious (and heavily discounted) fruit. Unfortunately the season is ending, and we’re not getting enough fruit now to bag and sell, so our little stall is finished for this year. Feijoas will most likely be back next year though, so keep following our page to make sure you’re in the know when April rolls around again.

21.01.2022 Feijoas will be back tomorrow! Wednesday 11:00am till 12:00 noon unless sold out before. $2 for a 500g bag, cash only - and please try to bring correct change to help us manage no-contact payments. We’ll be there regardless of weather, so bring your umbrella if it’s raining - don’t miss out!

21.01.2022 They’re not to everyone’s taste, but radishes are one of the easiest vegetables to grow. Grab a cheap packet of seed, sow it in autumn, and you could be enjoying these sliced in a salad or even roasted.

18.01.2022 It’s stopped raining & our produce swap is happening, so come on down!

17.01.2022 ***FEIJOA SALE IS STILL ON*** Well, the rain is back, but we’re still here. Grab an umbrella and your waterproof shoes and wander up the driveway to get your tasty treats. You’ll find us set up under cover at the garden entrance - at the first shed on the right.

16.01.2022 SUNDAY FEIJOA SALE: 11:00am till 12:00 noon (unless sold out before) Feijoas will be on sale again on Sunday. Come down between 11:00 and 12:00 and grab a 500g bag for only $2. There will be also some 1kg bags of small or imperfect fruit, great for making jam or cooking other treats, for only $1. The season is coming to an end, and we can’t guarantee future availability, so don’t miss out.... Cash only, and please bring correct change to help us maintain contactless payments. Thanks for your understanding.

15.01.2022 SOLD OUT AGAIN - we’ll have more soon; watch this page. Don’t forget our feijoa sale today! 11:00 till 12:00 - see the below post for details. The rain is clearing, so come on down and get your fix.

12.01.2022 Sorry, feijoa fans - due to the unfavourable weather, plus it being Mothers Day, we won’t be selling any fruit tomorrow. There will be plenty available during the week and next weekend as well though, weather permitting. Keep an eye on this page for days and times.

12.01.2022 FEIJOAS ARE AVAILABLE NOW. 11:00 am till 12:00 unless sold out earlier.

09.01.2022 It may be winter, but there’s plenty still growing in our member plots. Asparagus in June is a bit unexpected though.

06.01.2022 There hasn’t been a lot to share lately, as our activities are severely restricted due to COVID lockdown. Luckily there’s been plenty of rain though, so things are largely taking care of themselves at the garden. We hope to be able to start up our monthly produce swaps and welcome visitors back very soon.

06.01.2022 It may be almost winter, but we still have a few patches of summer around the garden with these dwarf sunflowers.
