"Australia has a wide range of climates from the wet tropics to cool temperate climates and it is important to consider your climate when selecting trees that will be best suited to your area so they will thrive and be productive once planted. This map from the Organic Gardener Magazine is an excellent example of a climate map that will help you to understand what type of climate you live in.

Seedsavers Visit, February 4 2016 to John and Carol's garden in Fernmount


Around 24 people visited John and Carol's garden in Fernmount.


At times they were lost amidst the foliage. Okinawa spinach and Surinam spinach were served with fetta cheese in pastry cases.



They came together for a presentation to Irene and David for their magnificent work for Bellingen Seedsavers and of course everyone enjoyed a 'deadly' morning tea. Thanks everyone.


Our next working bee will be packaging seeds for the Autumn Plant Fair is at 2.00pm, February 13 at 'The Stables" behind Bellingen Ambulance Station.
