Survived the cyclone with minimal damage. All our tubestock got put under the shadehouse tables so all our orders are safe.
Available this Sunday 9am-12 (in limited quantities) are large frangipanis $88 each for those that don't have time to grow their own. Tricolours and divine Deep red variety which is somewhat darker than the
photo. Jani's orange pawpaw are also available in tubestock. $7.70 or two in a pot for $9.90. Get them in the ground now before the winter cold.
Last Thursday volunteers, Linda and PM helped render another internal section of the strawbale building. Great day! Volunteer days for rendering are on Thursday and Tues. Call Johnny on 0458 381628 if you are interested in offering a helping hand.

Well done. We were worried!
A few moments captured by one of our volunteers. Thank you Linda Liem. We are hand rendering the inside of our strawbale teaching building with a cob mix of clay, straw and sand. This is a truly tactile experience that creates an unforgettable connection to this beautiful organic building along with creating time to connect with friends old and new. We are looking for helping hands on week days, message us if you are interested. We will teach you all if you haven’t done it before.
