01 Feb 2010 Wonderful Rain – Full Dams

Last years rainy period was great -

Not great at the time when we didn’t see the sun for weeks – but Great in that the dam is full and the trees are really getting a move on.

Welcome Rain in late 2009

Welcome Rain in late 2009

For much of 2008-2009, we were buying water to keep the trees in the Gardens alive. While it did keep them alive, it was not enough moisture to encourage growth.

The rains were welcome and while 2010 has started with a blast of hot days – the gardens do have some stored water to keep them going.

The dam is full, and water is now available.

This years issue is to keep the lawns mown -  where last years issue was keeping the ground from blowing  away in a dust storm.

How much has your tree grown since you were last out to visit?

Come on out and see what is growing now!

15 Jan 2009 Carbon Paw Print Reducing Trees Now Available.
Carbon Paw Print Reducing Tree $25.00

Carbon Paw Print Reducing Tree $25.00

As promised – our new Carbon Paw Print Reducing Trees now available -

How it works  – For $25.00 you can purchase a tree which is an Australian Native growing in the Gardens here – we send you a numbered tag and your tree carries the identical number. Naturally the more trees we sell the more we Plant.

Then you can either come and visit and see your tree growing – or if you can’t physically get here – you can email and request a photo.

WHY should anyone buy a Paw Print Reducing Tree?

Because our animals can not do it for themselves, they like us are very dependant on a healthy environment. Perhaps even more then we are – they love to be out and about in an natural environment.

Australian Natives lock up more carbon then most other Plants grown!

So if your Pet drives around in a Hummer, Watches a Plasma Screen TV and only eats ‘ Top shelf Tin foods’, they are leaving a pretty heavy PAW PRINT – so they would really appreciate the opportunity to offset their Carbon.

While the web site is being set up for e-commerce you can secure your tree – by using the Contact us section.

Remember, the seeds of the Future, need to taken out of the Packet, if anything good is to grow!
