In addition to the productive raised edible garden area, there are many fruit trees, including some rare banana varieties, throughout the property and a large chicken run. Bring your questions with you. This is a great garden to learn about growing annual vegetables, bananas and bromeliads..

Story

Although bromeliads might be this garden host’s great passion, Rosa has been growing vegetables for her family since she was thirteen years old and living in Europe. Rosa’s knowledge and talent is on show in this garden. Making good use of the mild climate, she has peppers and chillies growing through winter and a wide range of brassicas, leafy greens, peas, beans, potatoes – you name it – it’s growing in this garden. Rosa loves to cook, and she grows what her family wants to eat, making use of everything in the garden.

In addition to the productive raised edible garden area, there are many fruit trees throughout the property and a large chicken run. Rosa has a really impressive range of fruiting banana trees, including a Blue Java and Red Dacca.

Bring your questions with you. This is a great garden to learn about growing annual vegetables, bananas (and bromeliads). What to grow, when and how to grow it.

Safety

There is a large dam on this property so please keep children in sight at all times. Only the front area of the property will be open during the trail and the garden host will be in the garden to answer questions.
