Visit Oyster Cove Bruce and Karen 2026
A gloriously warm early summer's day saw the Food Garden Group visit Bruce and Karen's garden in Oyster Cove. Bruce and Karen took on this five acre property around five years ago. In that time they transformed it from a weed infested and overgrown block into a delightful hobby farm.
This beautiful garden at Fern Tree on the lower slopes of Kunanyi provided a stunning setting for the final Southern Food Garden Group visit of the season. With extensive protected areas for food crops nestled among towering eucalypts and other native plants, we had a chance for a close up look at how two keen gardeners have managed the challenges of a steep site, cold climate, and extensive wildlife pressure to create a thriving and productive space for growing food.
