Season

 

SPRING

Our favourite time of year!  Mild weather and longer days means almost all our varieties are at their best.  This is the most colourful time of year where dependable yields are guaranteed for the upcoming wedding, party and festive season and of course the Spring Racing Carnival.

 

SUMMER

When the soil reaches temperatures above 21c degrees, expect to see a vast array of wonderful, flavourful flowers!  Our herb and vegetable garden is bursting at the seams over summer with Pea and Bean Flowers, Fennel Pollen, all our herb flower varieties and a bunch of limited release products grown especially for our chefs.

What's beautiful right now:

CORNFLOWER, ROSE, PETUNIA, PELARGONIUM

 

AUTUMN

The mild and shorter days of autumn are a welcome relief from the summer heat and also a time for replanting and fresh yields of cooler weather varieties such as Pansy, Viola, Calendula, Pineapple Sage and Nasturtium Flowers and Pods.

 

WINTER

The cooler months are a quieter time in the greenhouse.  As temperatures drop our vegetal varieties such as Mustard Flower, Coriander Flower, Linaria, Brassica and Broad Bean Flowers bloom continuously.  Favourites such as Viola, Pansy and Nasturtium Leaves are also beginning to be at their most vibrant.
