Lightstream in Lowana

Open Gardens

Judy and Andrew are natural therapists with specialties in meditation, massage and herbalism. They have been on their MO for a couple of decades, running a successful airbnb as well as improving and adding to the initial buildings and gardens. Now they are mostly retired and throwing themselves fully into the productive gardens.
 
We’re invited for a morning tour of their netted chook/orchard and vegie tunnels, with lunch to follow.
 
They also have an amazing waterhole at the bottom of property, so for those who have time to linger, a spot of natural bushwalking and a quick dip might also be on the cards – bring your cozzie!

Garden Visit to Mary’s garden in Emerald Beach

Open Gardens

 
Mary’s Emerald Beach garden has been transformed from a standard building block (read: rubbish tip) 6 years ago to a homely mix of natives, flowers, fruit and vegies.
 
Lately, the garden has been rewarding her with enough pawpaws, bananas and greens to share with neighbours and friends.
 
She invites us to share lunch in the garden that has given her so much pleasure.
 

Garden Visit to Leela’s ‘toy’ farm in Dorrigo

Open Gardens

 
It’s been 2 years since I’ve had you lot up for a visit. My how the garden has grown! Landscaping and new projects started (finishing is the hard part!), plus more naughty animals to marshal. I’m still trying to push the boundaries of climatic possibilities – gardens & life; the grand experiment.
 
Come on up the mountain and see what I’ve been busy with…
