Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
- Robert Frost

Do you want local food?

As more veg and fruit comes into season, take a minute to think about how eating local food is good for you, your community and nature.

Plant Sale - this Saturday 10am - 3pm

This Saturday 19th June we're having our very first sale, where all our plants (almost all of which are licensed organic) will be reduced in price.  This is your chance to stock your garden with vegetable seedlings, herbs, fruit & flowers that you didn't get a chance to grow from seed.  The sale is on at the OOOOBY Store, Glenealy starting at 10am on Saturday.
