25.01.2022 One Tree Hill, Greater Bendigo National Park

24.01.2022 Today we have sent out our invitations to order for next season. If you are interested in revegetation or fancy planting some indigenous Central Victorian plants like those shown in these pictures, you are welcome to request our proposed list to be sent by email, messenger or by post. Of course you can buy from us from April without prior ordering if that is your preference. We also provide a range of non-local species that are suitable for Central Victorian conditions. To request a list, message me here or via email [email protected]. Thanks Liz Spillane.

22.01.2022 We have added to our infrastructure this year and have a nice little hot house. I am hoping this will help me get a head start on my spring and summer veg seedlings. We grow a variety of open pollinated plants, including many Heirlooms. I have sown some tomatoes, chillies and capsicums today and will fill up the available space tomorrow. Hopefully we will be back on our market runs before long. Watch this space if you are interested in some Heathcote grown seedlings. It’s a good time to think about preparing your veg garden beds.
