Been delving into the world of bach flower remedies lately... So interesting! The vibrational healing power of flowers. They have the power to alter and adjust our emotional states with vibrational energy from the sun and pure unadulterated water. I'

Great opportunity today to be part of this integrative workshop about soil and human health in portobello. Hosted in Heraweka street at Augustine's cafe. Met some fabulous people and ate some lovely healthy food. Awesome work by Dr Ivan Lin tying it

Grateful to be a part of this awesome gathering for some cheese making in middlemarch. We started with a cow milking demo with the fabulous rosie and some cheese tasting, then we got onto making some halloumi. Nice to catch up with some great ladies,

This is what new gardens look like at my house. This was a very untidy corner with old pallets and mushroom logs and over grown vegetation. Out comes the weedwhacker! The vegetation cut down. Covered with coffee sacks and mulched with grass clippings

Sick of weeding paths and lifting wood chips. Work smarter not harder... The paths have been weeded back to bare soil and down with lawn seed. Then a whip round with the weed whacker to keep them tidy.
Hopefully much less work.

Some happy people today to receive some hand picked flowers. These were purchased as gifts for some volunteers. I popped out this morning to pick them and just in time too as the rain came thundering down. Good timing! If you know someone who would l

All this rain then heat has been so good for the garden. Everything is looking so lush. Hard to believe 5 years ago this was over grown cooch grass, hemlock, dead trees and gorse. Still a way to go to get it all landscaped but definitely almost there

Blackcurrants are a must have in the edible garden. Unlike their red counterpart they are so versatile in the kitchen and the uses are almost endless. They are also packed full of nutrients and vitamin c and antioxidants

Very exciting to see wee baby plums on my tree. Happy the girls have done their best with polliantion amongst this unpredictable spring weather. We sometimes get a lot of rain, wind and unseasonably cold snaps up until about November here in dunedin

Bit of chaos in the garden with the heavy winds last week. A dead standing Hawthorn has partially come down. Took out an apricot tree which was gutting. These things happen. Thankful noone was hurt. I've cut it back to remove the damage and hopefull
