A quick introduction

Recommended Posts

Since having my account validated I've been meaning to write up a little introduction, but for whatever reason, it just didn't happen.

But here we go; slightly later than intended... but better than never!

After spending the past year or two reading this forum without ever signing up I finally decided it was well and truly time to do so - so here we are! 

 

With both my parents being ecologists, one thing has remained fairly constant throughout my life; a deep interest in plants and fungi, more specifically native species (but definitely not limited to such!) Since a very young age I have been fascinated by medicinal plants... and I probably spent more time than I should have throughout my highschool years scanning my mum's old uni textbooks on medicinal and edible native flora... my schooling definitely suffered, but I believe I have developed a more healthy range of knowledge because of it :P

 

My current place of residence lies on the SE coast of NSW, and we've spent the last 12ish years transforming it from an overgrazed collection of paddocks into a lovely little refuge for native wildlife. I shall upload some pictures in the next post, I just need to downsize them enough so that I don't get that pesky error message.

 

I also wanted to say a quick thanks to this community for the warm welcome I have already received, especially to Humboldt and Pedro, who started off my collection very generously. :lol:

A few pictures of our place :)

second pic is a lovely little grove of 10(ish) year old floribunda + longifolia,  third is a driveway planting of the same.
