How's your garden growing? We've been having a bit of a break from focused gardening as our attention is wrapped up with the outdoor kitchen renovations. But, I was chatting to Dave from the awesome Frog Hollow Nursery this morning, and we were discussing the impact COVID has had on gardening, and whether people's gardening habits have changed. Both Dave and I noticed a huge increase in gardening enthusiasm in March/April 2020, but have seen the interest drop off over the past month or two. Not sure is its season (winter) related or that our food security situation seems to be less vulnerable than those empty supermarket shelf times in the recent past...
If you're interested in sharing your gardening experience you can take this quick survey from an international collaboration of researchers who are keen to explore gardening attitudes and practices under our changed circumstances!
Cheers!

We are getting bees!! 🐝
Over the next few months we will be assembling hives and gearing up to incorporate bees into our garden program. If you’d like to learn more or be involved, please get in touch! We’d love to develop some sort of mentoring/workshops/community around bees and beekeeping in the southern beaches, so stay tuned if it sounds like something you’re into!
I will definitely be down To check them out
To mark the solstice, we planted an apple tree and buried our wishes beneath it to grow; and built a fire to burn our fears. Thanks to the Dodges Ferry Primary School students who helped out. So much gratitude for our community, garden and life here in Dodges.
Every life lesson is there in the outdoor classroom
Beautiful
