16 Oct 2011 - the first spring
Guided by sun and permaculture, we’re turning our front yard into a thriving mix of fruit trees, veggies, herbs, and flowers — a garden that’s both beautiful and edible.
16 Feb 2011 - our own place
A move to the wild west side of town brings new soil, a blank slate, and unexpected lessons from UK gardener Alys Fowler. With sandy ground, a few hardy plants, and a permaculture mindset, I'm learning to grow a garden that feeds both body and spirit.
16 Sep 2009 - the saanen goats
Who said you can’t have goats in the city? We bought two Sannen dairy goats to help clear some weeds on our big urban block and learnt a lot along the way. Read what happened!
16 July 2009 - front yard vegies
Another move and a new garden bed design, this time in the front yard. Take a look at our European inspired permaculture veggie garden.
19 Mar 2007 - growing in small spaces
After a year in regional Queensland we've moved back to the city for work and to be closer to family, and into a garden flat. Check out the start of our journey growing in small spaces.
