14.01.2022 Prostanthera lasianthos var. lasianthos - Victorian Christmas Bush (Pink flowering form) flowering now in our gardens. Grows up to 8m tall and is happy in the sun or the shade but needs some moisture.

11.01.2022 Unfortunately we were broken into over night. Thankfully there was nothing stolen as we keep no valuables or money onsite *please take note thieves*. We are waiting for forensics to come and check for finger prints, so in the meantime, customers please note that we are unable to take eftpos transactions, cash only.

06.01.2022 We are now entering into the season known as BULLARTO N`YOWEENTH ( plenty sun)(early summer). Bunurong people begin to welcome their neighbours to the coast, pe...ople would swim and gather TUYANG(shellfish) and PIDDERON(periwinkles) from the rocky platforms or fish for snapper at the mouth of the mangrove inlets and mix the days catch with the fruit of the KARKALLA ( pigface) and sweet tubers that the "BAGGAROOK"( women) had gathered..The COOLEENTH (men) could be found sitting together making bark canoes so they could travel to the islands to catch KOORMAN(seal). The Moonbird (muttonbird) have arrived and soon they will lay their single egg. The Kulin people gather together, their camps getting ready for the coming of age ceremonies, there are many YAINYANGS(corroborees) and WEENTH( fires) burn brightly across the landscape. It is an abundant time for the Kulin people, native grasses grow tall and seed now and MURRUB (lerps) can be collected from WURUN ( manna tree) bulbs are ready for harvesting and the BOLLAM BOLLAM (butterflies) add colour to the fields of wildflowers. DOONBURRIM(lizards) and snakes are active and EOKE(eels) are starting to come down the river. People stay near the fresh water sources now as the N`YOWEENTH(sun) begins to heat up. Kulin BEEYAK ( country) is bursting with life. See more

05.01.2022 Persoonia chamaepeuce - Dwarf Geebung A lovely low growing spreading shrub which is unfortunately a little difficult to propagate. This means that we are unable to grow large quantities every year, so if you see them available, snap them up quick so you don’t miss out!

05.01.2022 A big thank you to all our volunteers who helped with the working bee on Sunday. It was lovely to see everyone ,Lots of weeds gone. Thanks again to all.

Thysanotus tuberosus asp. tuberosus - Common Fringe-lily 5. Xanthosia dissecta var. dissecta - Cut-leaf Xanthosia See more

03.01.2022 Fantastic news this afternoon! Retail is allowed to open once again! We are unable to open immediately as a few factors are holding us back right now, including needing to move all of our stock back into the retail area since we removed it to save water. We will let you know asap when we will be open for COVIS Safe customer service and retail. See you all soon!
