Australians like an interesting turn of phrase. New Aussies and visitors to our fair shores are puzzled by the distinctive Aussie-isms used to denote a weakness, a flaw or a foible. Only Australians say: Don’t be a Drongo/an Emu/a Galah! The Galah is the only of those birds regularly seen in Kuril...

We have some important information to share!

We recently tested a range of plants throughout the garden and the results have come in showing varying levels of Lead. Some plants tested with acceptable levels, however some tested with levels not suitable for human consumption. Therefore, we feel it is best to introduce a blanket 'do not consume' policy for all plants growing in the open garden beds.

All plants growing in the raised garden beds, pots or anything separated from the ground soil is safe to consume.

Because of these results, some of the edible plants in the open garden beds will be removed. Most notably being the Mulberry tree and curry leaf. We will, however, plant replacements in pots as soon as possible.

We have decided to not remove some edible plants, such as the elderflower and coffee trees as they are highly used by pollinators. These plants will be signed to ensure clarity.

If you have any questions, feel more than welcome to send us a message or an email to [email protected]
