Visit David and Deb 2025

After some very welcome early morning rain, David and Deb's garden in Youngtown provided a lovely setting for our March northern garden visit. An attractive ornamental garden led us to a productive food garden including numerous fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, a potting shed and a glasshouse providing lots to explore. 

Visit Mornington Ailsa 2025

On a cool autumn morning, we gathered at Ailsa’s impressive property in Mornington to see how, in the past 10 years, she’s overcome some significant issues with her plot to create an incredibly productive garden. Keep reading to see why most of us who attended went home a little inspired and a lot jealous at what we saw.

Visit Grindelwald Roy and Kate 2025

Fifteen minutes north of Launceston, Kate and Roy's garden is surrounded by Tamar Valley vineyards and views of blackwoods, wattles and eucalypts from every angle of their 1 hectare block. After some very welcome early morning rain of 10mls, the rain clouds cleared and we enjoyed a balmy morning in an interesting and productive garden.

Visit Taroona Marian 2025

On a sunny but cold morning in February we were lucky to visit Marian’s vibrant and lush food forest in Taroona. In a little under six years Marian and her husband Pat have transformed a previously loved-but-neglected space into a thriving mix of fruit trees, vegetables, chicken habitat, and flowers.
