The vast majority of our plants are native to Gumbaynggirr Country on the NSW Mid North Coast and support local birds, insects, reptiles and mammals. Gardens are important for biodiversity, but gardens are also aesthetic enterprises and we have a tiny orchard and small Asian garden with most of these plants being gifts.

And on our driveway we have flowering trees.
