If you've been following our journey growing 600 Australian native seedlings with Trees For Life (SA) this year, here's a little update on where they are now. Recently, our 600 Australian native seedlings (or "tree babies" as we've affectionately called them throughout the growing process!) made the journey from the city to the countryside when they were collected by the landholder and carefully transported on the back of a ute to their new home. The landholder has since sha

The ocean can sometimes feel a long way away, but the truth is that what each of us does every day matters. Every piece of litter picked up, every reusable item chosen over a disposable one, every tree planted, every bottle recycled and every effort to care for our local environment contributes to the health of our planet and ultimately our oceans. Today is a reminder that positive change doesn't always come from grand gestures. Often it comes from ordinary people making thou

Tomorrow is one of those days that makes us both happy and a little sad. After six months of care, our 600 Trees For Life (SA) seedlings will be collected and begin their journey to their new home in the South Australian landscape. We've watched them grow from tiny seeds into strong young plants, so it's hard not to become attached! Today we spoke with the landholder who is eagerly awaiting their arrival. It was wonderful to hear how much preparation has already gone into giv

After some welcome rain across South Australia, our gardens are buzzing again… and moments like this remind us that nature slows us down in the best possible way. These busy little bees were captured recently enjoying native flowers around our homes — a small but important reminder that every native plant, every tree grown, every garden space created can help support biodiversity. Then, just as quickly, the skies changed and rewarded us with a rainbow. For visitors to South A

We recently attended the Destination Australia Conference and wanted to share something we’re starting to explore a little more It’s called Green is Our Gold, an initiative led by Tourism Australia—bringing tourism businesses together to help care for the environments, cultures, and communities that make Australia so special. We’ve taken a first step by accessing the sustainability framework and toolkit to learn more. It’s not an accreditation—just a shared commitment to doin

Last week we shared the joy of spotting a healthy swallowtail caterpillar in our garden… and now nature has taken another beautiful step forward. The caterpillar is beginning to transform into its chrysalis (cocoon). If you look closely, you can still see the gentle outline of the caterpillar as it changes — a fascinating glimpse into the incredible cycle of life. Moments like these remind us just how special it is to create spaces where nature feels welcome and protected. F

Back in January, we shared a quiet, special moment — a delicate swallowtail butterfly gently laying her eggs on our citrus tree. Fast forward to now… and look what nature has been doing Those tiny eggs are thriving, and we’re delighted to see a healthy little caterpillar making itself at home on the citrus tree. It’s a beautiful reminder of how incredible and resilient nature is when we give it space to flourish. From butterflies and birds to bees and native plants, these sma

This delicate dainty swallowtail butterfly chose a citrus tree as the perfect place to lay her eggs — if you watch closely, you’ll spot her carefully laying two tiny eggs. A quiet moment of wildlife, right there in the garden. Make sure to listen to the background sounds of birds. South Australia is rich in nature — from local wildlife and peaceful gardens to stunning beaches and so much more. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect. When yo

A few years ago, we purchased this beautiful rose in support of Catherine House , helping raise funds for a cause close to our hearts 💛 📸 Captured in bud on 25/11/2025 📸 And now — flourishing in full bloom today in the garden at our Country Style Louisa home in Gawler 🌹 As Christmas approaches, we’d also like to take a moment to wish everyone at Catherine House a very Merry Christmas and say thank you for the incredible work you do for people across South Australia . Yo

On the weekend, we collected our 10 boxes of soil, fertiliser, seeds and supplies from Trees For Life SA and have officially begun preparing to grow 600 Australian native trees this season These seedlings will be grown voluntarily for a landholder in Second Valley, south of Adelaide, supporting biodiversity, habitat regeneration and a healthier environment for generations to come. Watch our video We’ll be sharing updates throughout the growing season — including the native
