I’ve worked on a lot of other restoration projects, establishing wetlands in industrial estates and often roadside habitats. In heavily farmed areas roadside verges are often the only source of remnant vegetation and can therefore be incredibly important for local gene pools.

We have an aboriginal education team and indigenous bush foods and tools plantings which are just aobut to be extended through a recent grant. They are based out of a beautiful gum leaf shaped shelter that strangely does not appear on our website. I’ll have to take one myself.

Grading was tough , but I’ve been doing a lot of it at work and I actually feel pretty good about it. Site Design on Monday right out of the gate at 7:45 am was brutal. Everyone was pretty much working right up to final bell. The time constraint in design is that you have to come up with a design/solution on bumwad or trace and then transfer it…[Read more]

Hey guys, how are you all doing?!?!

I thought this would be a good way of keeping in touch with each-other and letting everyone know when things are going on. Feel free to post and stay in touch!

I like to use the iris and peony myself. I also mix in Irish moss where I can with the rocks to display miniature scenes of vegetation.
