We started with a vegetable patch but found it difficult to source heirloom variety of tomatoes. We then started growing herbs and propagating our own tomatoes after collecting seeds.

Friends were interested so we started selling the herbs and tomatoes at the Prom Coast Farmers Market. We then started propagating natives and the nursery began from a small hot house to our current set up.

Silvia
Silvia began a traineeship at a local retail nursery receiving her Certificate 3 and 4 in Horticulture. She then began working at a local wholesale nursery propagating natives as she developed her own nursery. A green thumb was born. |
Paul
Paul built a small hot house which he thought was big the time. As production grew he converted the old farm dairy to a nursery and built another larger hot house, plus a shade cloth structure with benches, irrigation systems and landscaped gardens. The building continues. |
Sebastian and Gabriel
The boys interest in gardening grew from sampling fruit and berries to collecting and propagating succulents. It's good that succulents are such hardy plants. |
