When you plant a eucalypt, you’re not just planting a single tree. You’re actually planting an ecosystem. – Dr Dean Nicolle OAM 🪲🦋🐛🐦🦎🐨🍄 Eucalypts have enormous biodiversity value, especially as part of our urban forest. They provide food, shelter, and nesting places for many more Australian animals, plants, and fungi than non-native trees can. While common urban wildlife like Brushtail Possums, Rainbow Lorikeets and European Honeybees are happy enough with the resources provided by many garden trees, our more specialist species, like Australia’s unique nectar-feeders, are specifically adapted to rely on and co-exist with our native flora. In our cities, towns, and suburbs, native eucalypts on streets and in gardens are vital habitat stepping stones, linking bigger patches of native bushland and connecting wildlife populations. And where indigenous eucalypts are planted, this effect is multiplied, the trees slotting perfectly into their natural ecosystem.

Are you a @costasworld fan? I did an online class last week for a Finnish permaculture crew and they said ‘oh we love that guy’ 😆 For those outside of Australia, Costa is our biggest celebrity. Which is cool because he’s a gardener and also a really nice guy. He’s half man, half hedge, and is known for being our country’s most recognisable garden gnome. Y’all might have Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian but we’ve got this guy and we’re pretty stoked with that. Not many people know that I did the illustrations for his amazing book ‘Costa’s World’. We’re also working on another book project together, so stay tuned for that one. What’s your Costa story, I’d love to hear it 🥰 #brennaquinlan #artwithpurpose #costageorgiadis
@ceresnurserybrunswick is a wonderful source of plants and particularly local plants and I love to visit and grab gifts for whenever I am in town doing events. Today was no exception Big thanks to the amazing team who are so passionate .about all things local and the big global picture in all they do.

Getting ready to join the official taste test panel for 2024 at the 30th anniversary Diggers Club Great Tomato Taste Test at Heronswood on the Mornington Peninsula. 25 tomato varieties have been numbered ready for tasting. I spotted a few I have grown and it was interesting to compare their flavour with other tomatoes on display.
