MARKET GARDENERS AND MAKERS

Small batch flowers, pressed apple juice and folk remedies made by us, celebrating the wild healing beauty of the earth. If you want to bring more plant goodness into your life, you can find our offerings at markets, workshops and here at our online shop.

Just a note to let you know that we are taking a break over the next week (the first time in a long while 🧡) so the stall and juice+flower orders are closed until Sunday 18th...

Most likely we’ll be back into it by then, hopefully refreshed and rested 🌿🍂🌸

The rest of the autumn months will be full of the busyness before winter sets in- planting, gathering in the last of the quinces for pressing, and making more flower bundles for market and later in May Mother’s Day. See you all then
🧡

🍂 subscription delivery day 🍂

I’m heading out this morning with bundles of flowers and autumn herbals for our wonderful subscribers 🧡 fire cider & rosehip+elder elixir, and flowers like proteas, dahlias, zinnias and beautiful foliages. I hope you all enjoy them ✨

It’s also the last of this round of subscriptions, and I’m thinking about whether to offer something for the wintertime too.. let me know if you’d be interested? And how/when you might like you deliveries to be offered?

Have a beautiful sunshiney autumn day 🍂

Autumn flowers at the roadside stall today, tomorrow and Sunday 🍂 dahlias, proteas, zinnias and strawflowers 🍁

We will be at the Uraidla Market too on Sunday, with fresh pressed apple juice and more flower bundles 🧡

Happy weekend and enjoy the warm sunny days 🌞

A week of warm sunshine and the zinnias are loving their bright, light-filled patch.
These last few golden autumn afternoons have brought on a final burst of blooms 🌼 zinnias from the Queen lime series are some of my favourites, and they’re easy to grow if you’re thinking about planting summer flowers next spring 🌿 these ones are Queen lime orange ; with a sneaky few bright pink ones in the mix, but those ones are beautiful too 🌸

#zinnias #autumnequinox #fieldtovase

Warm peachy tones with burnt orange, cream and green leaves with hints of red 🍂
I so enjoyed putting together this beautiful palette from the cutting garden for Jess and Bel’s wedding today 🧡 a balance of warm and cool for the autumn equinox 🌿🍊🍁

Today’s sweet bundles of early autumn flowers 🍂

Delivery day today ! 🍂 dahlia, zinnia and foxglove and autumn foliage bundles heading out all over town ✨

A photo I took many moons ago, our first go at crushing and pressing windfall apples 🍎(you can see little five year old Sage in the picture too ❤️)
Six years on and today Oscar is at the Uraidla market @uraidlamarket with new season apple juice he makes fresh at the market stall ❤️
It’s the perfect treat in this beautiful warm autumn weather if you’re up that way today 🍂

Flowers and herbal remedies for the stall tomorrow morning ✨

I’ve had some lovely customers asking after my wild bloom face oil and midsummer sunshine St John’s wort oil (which is ready now after being steeped from solstice solstice till now as we approach the autumn equinox 🌞). Both will be in the remedy cabinet at the roadside stall, and (hopefully) I’ll be talking more through my process what I make and why and how it can support your skin (and nervous system!) soon for those of you who are interested 🧡

Saying that ‘hopefully’ I’ll share might sound a little odd, but the truth is I have been wanting to show more of my behind the scenes work, garden, herbs and flowers, but things have felt a little heavy for me lately, especially on social media somehow.. and finding the words to share on deeper topics and all my growing and harvesting processes has been a little harder. Hopefully the fog will lift a little with time, and the energy to share so you can learn from me (and my mistakes with gardening!) returns too ✨

Dahlias in shades of amethyst and citrine 🔮🧡 like little glowing garden gemstones ✨

Seeing these begin to flower well after last week’s heat, I keep thinking of the dahlia plants we sent out in the spring- if you have some of ours in your garden, I hope they’re beginning to flower for you, and doing well too 🧡

Harvests of strawflowers, Queen Anne’s lace, feverfew and echinacea in the morning summer sun 🌞

After picking as quick as I could in the blazing heat this morning, I’m back in the cellar conditioning the stems and making up some orders of medicinal flower bouquets 🌿 I might put a few hardy bunches out tomorrow, but the dahlias will be available when it’s cooler on the weekend 🌥

I’ll also have some flower seeds and some new season herbals too all going well! I’ll write more on those soon if you’re interested 🧡

Sweet little bundles of summer flowers at the stall today ✨

you’ll also find fresh pressed new season apple juice, healing flower salve and seeds 🧡 all till sold out ✨

The most beautiful space @rise_artisanbakery 🌾🧡

They create wonderful handmade sourdough bread and gorgeous pastries with seasonal produce, it’s the best 🧡
You can also find flowers and juice made by us available there this weekend 🌾

Harvest season flower + remedy subscriptions are on their way to this evening for all of our wonderful subscribers 🍂🧡 we hope you love your little bundle of garden treasures ✨

Mulled apple juice made by Oscar available at the stall today 🧡🍎

It’s wild weather perfect for a hot spiced warming treat✨ Oscar has infused the pressed juice with delicious spices like star anise, cinnamon and cloves, ready to heat and serve 💫
I made sure he kept some aside for us this afternoon, so cosy and comforting after a busy week 🧡

@theroseandradish_juice

🤍 sweet summer flowers 🌞

taking pictures of what I’ve made before they go to their new homes is always the last thing on my mind to do. I try to remember to take a moment to capture some of them though, in between the chaos and busyness of these summer months because I know that once winter comes around I’ll want to look back on all the beauty of the summer season, and to remember what did well and what to plan to plant again in the spring 🤍 I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m really enjoying starry night nigella (and I’m diligently setting aside plants to go to seed rather than picking the pods green) so I’ll plant more of those for next year, along with more delphiniums, and always dahlias of course 💫
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m curious- are any other growers so visual like me that they plan crops via their photo album rather than just writing it all down ?? 😅

The time of midsummer light and greenery, while everything slowly begins to be turned to gold ✨

#highsummer #lammas #fieldtovase #summergarden #zinnias

Midsummer flowers and raspberry greens at the roadside stall today, along with apple juice and some flower seeds 🌿

The dahlias aren’t quite in full bloom yet, but they are nearly there; I’ve felt the tiniest hint of autumn in the air the last couple of days, crisp mornings followed by bright warm golden days.. perfect for the flowers and all our leafy greens. It’s a reminder too that I’ll need to begin spring planting soon, and all the preparation for that.. we’ll be using a few different planting methods this coming season, and I’m looking forward to sharing more then, in case it’s helpful for your own spring planting too 🌱🌷

🌿🍎
This week Oscar has made the most delicious cold pressed raw apple juice and green juice, fresh from the basket press 🍏

They will be available at @rise_artisanbakery today (thank you for having us!), Friday and Saturday 8-3 🌿

Oscar’s green juice has been the perfect treat on hot weather days this month, this batch made with kale, silver beet, lemon, and apple 🌿 the most refreshing leafy green goodness for summer 💫

Bracken Palomino dahlias beginning to flower in the warmth and light today 🌞 These ones are from a dahlia tuber swap a few years back from @thegreenwitchflowers 🌿

I wasn’t sure if I had kept any from last season (some accidentally went to mystery dahlia orders) but I’m so happy to see their sunshiney faces bloom again ✨
This coming season I am *diligently* labelling all the plants as soon as they flower- last year only kept track of a handful, so I have around seventy mystery dahlia plants which I’m waiting on to see what they are! It’s quite exciting in a way, but I’m looking forward to being more organised next time 😅

Under the oak today 🌿 flowers, apple juice and herbals in the cabinet ✨

With the weather warming up, there will be dahlias in the stall on Thursday afternoon as they begin to unfurl in the sun- but it might be *too* hot by Saturday for cut flowers, so look out for them Friday if you’re interested, a day that might be the sweet spot between the heat bringing on the blooms, and it being too warm for them at the stall! 😆 ah the joys of growing and making with fresh produce ! But, it does make them all the more special, ephemeral and beautiful I think 🧡

Beautiful cool summer weather today, the cut flowers happy to be out of the cellar in the fresh air ✨
a perfect day for working barefoot on the clay verandah tiles and feeling grateful for the early morning rain and a little respite from the heat 🤍

Morning light on the starry night nigella ✨

This sweet variety is a wonderful cut with sturdier stems and beautiful seed pods, one of my favourites this season so far ✨
These ones are grown with seed from @floretflower, and you can find them @frogmore_gardens too ✨ they are happy to be direct sown too (like my favourites corncockles and scabiosa stellata 🤍), which I always appreciate as it makes for such easeful and joyful planting ✨

afternoon flowers available now at the stall till sold out 🌷

as a treat for myself I went to the flower markets this morning and got some blooms from other growers to add to ours; sometimes it helps me feel more creative and excited to make something with a variety or colour I haven’t used or seen in a long time 🌼
thank you @stflowersadelaidehills for the beauties I got from you this morning ✨🌞

wildflower handtied posy 🌾🍂

little hints of upcoming harvest season with green rosehips and queen anne’s lace ✨

I promised some flower seeds a few months back, as gifts to leave for our customers at the stall, but got swept up in end of years tasks and didn’t package them up - for those who are interested, would you like some Queen Anne’s lace (either ammi majus or daucus carota ‘dara’ both of which are in this bundle) along with calendula and strawflowers? I did have plans to harvest borage too, but the seeds were eaten by a creature before I could harvest (better luck next year I hope). Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll make them available soon ✨

Ursula 💫

with the first of the dahlias, feverfew, love-in-a-mist, carrot flowers, roses, bluegum, scabiosa, proteas strawflowers and wattle 💙

the first dahlia stems are blooming in the garden 🍂 breannon and tropical dream, with some deep burgundy ivanetti to begin soon 🧡

they won’t really take off until February or March though, and I’m looking forward to being able to share more then ✨ these ones will be set aside for a sweet new year’s wedding 🧡

Midsummer treasures from the hedgerow and hillside 🌾

At the stall today and tomorrow, and some available @rise_artisanbakery today too ✨

Plus a little gift of holly bundles (second slide) for our lovely customers out on the cart if you’d like one 🧡

Last market day for the year! @stirlingmarket Oscar will be there till 4pm today with apple juice, cherry juice, and summer solstice blooms 🌼 (I’ll be there for a little while later in the day today too yay!) Happy sunny Sunday everyone 🌞

Market day blooms ready for tomorrow @stirlingmarket 🍏🌿 I’ve been sitting here trying to write something more interesting to go with this picture, but honestly it’s been such a huge day of prep with Oscar’s apple and cherry juice, bundling flowers and wrangling the kids that it’s not left much energy for captions 😊 but - that care and creativity has gone into what we’ve made today instead, and we hope tomorrow’s market visitors enjoy what we’ve put together for the stall ! 🍏🌿

Herbal oils, fire cider, elderberry elixir and hand salve will be restocked at the stall from tomorrow morning 🌿 It’s a little late for posting now (unless it’s an order in say the next hour 😉) but I’m happy to take preorders for you to collect too 🌿🌿🌿

🤍 harvest time with the first flush of the perennial herbs 🤍🌿 White yarrow for skin healing in our hand salve, and for easing muscle cramps in our body oil (yarrow really is that magical and more ✨) Making herbal remedies to share beyond our little family has been something so close to my heart, so exciting yet it feels vulnerable too.. but I’m so happy to be sharing more of them. Thank you to all of you who have tried some so far, and for all your wonderful feedback! We will keep our small batch medicinal offerings running alongside the flowers and pressed apple juice because we love making them, and it’s almost a feeling of a calling to keep going and share more of the herbs growing in the garden 🌿 And I’m thinking perhaps of holding some workshops in the new year too- where we can explore the stories of the flowers and herbs that you have in your gardens, and dive into creating simple and beautifully effective remedies at home with these plants that are under your feet; traditional preparations whose memories are deep in our bones and sing in our hearts. Ones that we may not know the full story of as many practices have been eroded over time .. but some of them, bit by bit as we listen and remember, may have the chance come back to life through tending and listening to the plants and making with our hands 🌿 If this is something you’re interested in, I’d love to hear from you, and to hear what aspects you’d love to learn more about the most 🤍 And! Most importantly- you definitely don’t need a workshop or a course or a specific teacher to get started- begin with books about introductions to herbs at the library, start noticing, interacting with and enjoying the plants around you and you’ll find your way 🌿

Sunday afternoon roadside stall botanical treasures 🧡 with pressed juice made today, flowers, wreaths and remedies 🍒 Oscar made beautiful pure cherry juice this morning which is available at the stall now; the most amazing colour and it tastes incredibly delicious 🍒 We will also have more of our produce out available later in the week, and @stirlingmarket on Sunday too 🍒

Early at market this morning with spiced apple cider and pressed apple juice, along with these glowing gem anemones, ranunculus, king proteas and more spring flowers 🌿🌷
If you’re coming by the hills today Oscar will be there all day @stirlingmarket and I’ll be making more flower bunches to bring up later in the morning 🌿

Update: all fixed and dahlias are available now if you’re after some 🧡 thank you all for your patience 🧡
.

Well it’s been one of those mornings.. I had our online shop ready to release the dahlia tubers for those of you who were keen, but as I went to update all the details just now, I find that the website has completely crashed.. so I’ll be trying to get that fixed when I can and fingers crossed it will be back and ready to go soon! I’ll be back to let you all know as soon as I can 🌙🍂 thanks so much for your patience everyone ✨

Surrounded by green foliage, Queen Anne’s lace, soft ranunculus and many, many weeds ✨🌿 happy spring equinox 🌿✨
.

P.s dahlias going up for sale first thing tomorrow if you’re after some mixed or labelled tubers 🌱

The same shades as the stormy sunset clouds tonight .. earthy flowers reflecting the sky 🌙
