We know alot of the home gardeners in our area are working hard to get ready for that labour weekend target in the garden so we got heaps of extra stock all ready for you! We also have multiple contributors with more plants just waiting to come out to the stall as soon as theres space!

Today we want to talk about mental health month and the wondrous connection between gardening and our wellbeing. Grounding through soil contact, connection through sharing plants/produce, endorphins from seeing beauty in nature, breathing in fresh air, movement and exercise, healthy food for a healthy body feeds a healthy mind. Theres soooo many health benefits in gardening and creating/art alike! We have attached a wee reel of the gorgeous broad bean flowers already out and flourishing in the garden of one of our youngest contributors… because it makes us happy to see little hands in gardens growing food!

Much like our favourite little plants… our wee stall has a way of just growing on its own, this week has been an amazing week of growing as we welcome a brand new contributor (check out the gorgeous organic pea and zucchini seedlings now available at the stall in their own little box!) we have also had new succulents arrive, black and white currents and a whole truck load of other veg seedlings. AND YOU our amazing and appreciated troop of online and offline followers and supporters! We thankYOU as we swell to over 1200 online followers this week. Special spring growth ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

We realise that six cell punnets full of one veg can be a little to much for one small garden (6 cabbages all possibly coming ready at once is a lot of coleslaw ;) !!)

So we have increased the number and range we have of mixed veg punnets! We hope you enjoy. Great day for gardening today in our little slice of paradise! New stock arriving throughout the day today at the wee stall on Ajax Road 🥰

We tried to take photos, we got distracted 😹 best to stop by stop by the stall on Ajax road and check it out for yourself! We did have more peas and the first of the runner beans arrive today amongst other treasures! Did you know the first of our tomatos have arrived (tucked in the stalls draws with the house plants) Staggered planting means our contributors have more of most of the seedlings at the stall, so if youve got some, and want more… keep your eyes peeled!

Ok, we know we are biased… but the stall really starts to come into its own at this time of year and can be so pretty!

Todays stall super stars have to be the edible seedlings… we have celery, cabbage, red cabbage, broccoli, two different types of mint, mixed lettuces, cauliflower, sun flowers, broad beans, silverbeet and we forgot to grab photos of the start of our berries, we have white current, strawberries and alpine strawberries! So much tastiness! We have more seedlings arriving pretty much everyday at the moment (providing we have space) We hope you enjoy eating from your gardens as much as our contributors and their families!
