toast Posted September 11, 2015 Hey mate, I'd be keen to take you up on the $5 voucher offer when you're shop is up and running. Don't worry about sending anything to me, I'll only lose it. thanks No worries $5 store credit. I'll have to work out a standing discount for SAB folk too. so when do you think the nursery will be in business? Are you planning on a webstore or mail order, or walk ins only? What sort of plants? Edible berries or anything yummy for the kids to pick? Bush tomatoes, lilly pilly etc? Exciting stuff! I'll be operating from 2nd week in October. I'll have a website but it won't have a live shopping cart initially . Mail orders and pick up by appointment. I'll also be designing & installing bush tucker gardens, particularly for community groups and school, and a range of educational services will also be offered. I'll be focusing on edible & medicinal species from the east coast initially, particularly those indigenous to Newcastle. Iconic species, like Finger Lime, Lemon Myrtle & Macadamia, and a range of lesser known species, including Native Leek, Native Sarsaparilla and Pencil Yam. So yes, lots of edible berries, but also edible flowers and leaves, edible roots and seeds, and bush tea plants. As I get established look into species from other regions, such as bush tomato. Definitely exciting, not long now 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yeti101 Posted September 11, 2015 Sounds great toast. How broad are you going to go with the education side? More plant focussed, or the whole water-cycle etc?And yes, I'll go for free samples and vouchers If you can advise me on what I can grow in the shade, but with heavy salt spray, I might even buy something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toast Posted September 12, 2015 Thanks yeti. The education will focus on usual native plants. Message me your address & I will send you some goodies. How big is your shades patch? Any height restrictions? Is it full shade? PM details & I'll let you know some suitable species. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ghosty Posted September 25, 2015 "it smells a mix of buds, mint and cat's piss. joy!" Careful, a company released a cologne that was a simulation of just that. Hundreds of men get raped by cats. In italy i think it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
