25.01.2022 If you are like me and forget which pots have bulbs once they start dying off or what seeds you planted last week then this is a practical and beautiful solution!

24.01.2022 We have a great range of @annie_parker_upcycling footstools and floor cushions, featuring a variety of upcycled upholstery fabrics and repurposed tapestries. These are soft but heavy- Anne fills them with a mix or washed reused polyfill from dead cushions and all her little fabric scraps from making her fun clothing range. So comfy! . . . .... #sewsustainable #upcycle #reuse #scrapbuster #footstool #wasteasaresource #recreatecommunity #supporthandmade #textiles #supportsmallbusiness #communityproject #communityfundraising #mountpleasant #adelaidehills #barossavalley #handmadehome #cushion See more

22.01.2022 Fabulous fabric fungi sculpture. Another young maker Carina has a real talent for making these inspired textile sculptures. . This makes me think of botanical specimens in a grand french library, dotted on floor to ceiling bookcases next to stacks of old books. We have a beautiful range of Carina's and Cates textile works currently available.... . . . . #textilesculpture #recreatecommunity #handcrafted #supporthandmade #handmadeinsouthaustralia #localmade #upcycled #cloth #fibreart #textileart #fungi #mountpleasant #natureart #botanicalart #fungisculpture #mountpleasantenvironmentcentre #communityproject #communityfundraising #adelaidehills #barossavalley #mushrooms #flyagaric #mushroomsculpture See more

21.01.2022 It is so easy to feel powerless when grappling with the magnitude of negative human impact on our planet. But we need to care, we need to act, we need to make changes where we are able, and put pressure on our politicians and business to change how they operate. If nothing else, Covid has shown how rapidly communities, politicians and business can change overnight and respond if the need is great. The need is great. Together we have changed the world. Together we can change the world. https://theconversation-com.cdn.ampproject.org//worried-ab

20.01.2022 Looking to provide habitat and food for our resident koalas? We have tubes of Rough Bark Manna Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis ssp cygnetensis) on special for only $2. . If you want to add other species that would have been common in Manna Gum Woodlands we also have Drooping Sheok, Silver Banksia, a range of Acacias and smaller understory species. . Don't have a big yard? Remember you can always coppice and prune gums so they stay as a bushy multi-stemmed shrub rather then growin...g into a 20m specimen! This promotes young fresh growth which is a fantastic food source for koala rescue and rehabilitation volunteers working in the region. . . . #habitat #habitatgarden #biodiversity #koala #koalafood #communityproject #plants #plantnursery #eucalyptus #communityfundraising #nativeaustralianplants #mannagum #mountpleasant #mountpleasantenvironmentcentre #recreatecommunity #adelaidehills #mountloftyranges See more

Fill a jar 3/4 with chopped fruit. Cover with good quantity apple cider vinegar, a few tablespoons of your favourite sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Cover with a cloth. Let it ferment, stir or shake every few days. Leave it bubbling for a couple of weeks, strain and pop in the fridge. Lef...tover Shrubs, sorted. When it’s ready, either drink as a magic sort me out shot daily or a few shots in a glass topped with ice and Soda. . . . #shrub #leftovers #fruit #recipeidea #noleftovers #nowaste #zerowaste #greenliving See more

16.01.2022 Whilst the front door may be closed for a much needed break for the boss lady and our amazing volunteers, there's still plenty going on slowly but steadily out the back. Watering the plants is not just about new growth, there's plenty of little garden workers requiring hydration too #gardenlife #beesbirdsandbugs #recreatecommunitygarden #recreatecommunity #sustainableliving #communityproject #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #mtpleasant #adelaidehills #barossavalley

15.01.2022 We have beautiful hot pink salvias and super hardy but very pretty society garlic available in the nursery. Both good waterwise additions for your garden. And great for the birds and bees . It's going to be a hot one tomorrow but we will have cold water and aircon. . Even though from the front Recreate looks like a fancy (but rustic!) shed, our volunteers have over the years added lots of improvements.... insulation, windows, lining, roof vents, verandahs, and garden. A...ll of these factors help make it a pretty comfortable space to spend a hot day! . . . . #plantnursery #recreatecommunity #communitygarden #communityproject #mountpleasant #barossavalley #adelaidehills #supportlocal #supporthandmade #ourvolunteersrock #waterwise #gardengoodness #habitatgarden See more

07.01.2022 All the luscious greenery in our retail nursery makes us smile. Did you know we sell plants? Always a variety of plants for people, plants for wildlife and plants for our environment. The gorgeous salvia are just starting to show their colours and are fabulous for pollinators like bees and butterflys and they have the most amazing aroma when you brush the leaves *sigh* This week's weather forecast is just perfect for popping in and saying g'day . . . we'd love it if you did ... #plantforlife #goodforthesoul #gardenlife

07.01.2022 We don't normally start with Christmas things till December. But this year feels different. It has been long and fast all at the same time, busy and stressful, rewarding and exhausting, wonderful and sad. I know I am looking forward to a chance to stop and breathe, and take stock of the things I am thankful for including my family and friends. . One of our talented volunteers and makers has put together a range of lovely wreaths to adorn your home. Designed to last multiple ...years they can easily be refreshed for coming years too. Or if you are like me; I like a good all year round wreath that my daughter and I can enjoy and add nature finds from our walks to. A feather, leaves, bark or flower. So it becomes a changing seasonal memory. . . . . . #wreath #christmas #upcycle #reuse #dontthrowitrecreateit #handmadeinsouthaustralia #recreatecommunity #supportsmallbusiness #supporthandmade #supportlocal #communityproject #communityfundraising #supportsmallmakers #adelaidehills #barossavalley #festive See more
