Proof that it’s ok to leave the garden for an extended period of time and know that it’ll recover (with a little TLC of course).

This garden patch was put on the back burner due to growing our youngest team member about two years ago. After being a successful veggie patch for 3 year, it quickly become a jungle of weeds and completely unmanageable.
However in the last month or so we were able to get back in and bring it back to its former glory - all thanks to a few products we sell in the nursery.
First step was getting in and whipper snipping everything down to ground level, then turning the garden beds over before finally adding some nutrients back in. We used Coir Fibre, Not Just Mulch, Potting Mix and Sugar Cane Mulch to create the perfect blend of soil enrichment and moisturise retention capabilities. The gardens are now planted full of veggie, flowers and herbs ready to grow and feed the family.

If you’re interested in giving your garden some TLC and would like to know more about what to use, come have a chat with us at Forest Heart Nursery in Maleny 🌸

Happy beelated World Bee Day. Yesterday we celebrated the official day, however it’s important to recognise the important work our pollinators do everyday. These little unsung hero’s work year round on ensuring flowers are pollinated and plants are able to continue to the next step of ensuring future generations.

Here’s some flowers in the nursery that could help ensure your garden keeps our pollinators fed throughout the year.
