Pebble and Fern's Mud Kitchen

Gardens are really wonderful places – full of pretty flowers, scented herbs, all kinds of beds and borders of edible plants with colourful and shapely leaves.

Bright crocheted artwork, fanciful birdhouses, odd bits of sculpture and crazy driftwood trellises decorate the rooms in our wild Gardens. Raised beds interplanted with Vegetables, Flowers and Fruits divide the hillside into colourful terraces and it is such a unique place to explore.

But when you are small most Gardens tend to be “NO!” places. Parents are so conscientious and they try so hard to make sure their lovely little people are careful and that they are kind. This sometimes means that there is very little that is not pretty much off limits to small hands and feet. Not so fun.

We want to make a space for little people that says “YES!” – touch, pick, smell, taste, explore and be welcome.

We want this place to be truly Welcoming to everyone, big and little. With this in mind, we are building a “Mud Kitchen” – A multi-sensory natural Garden area made just right for little people. We have been collecting logs, driftwood, branches, benches, boulders and plants to create a miniature Eden that combines child-sized Garden plantings with a place to use natural materials to be creative.

Mostly we sell Zucchini, so as much as I'd like to, I can't do this alone - this is where you can make a difference.

Your contributions will be used to bring this space to life - it will help offset the costs of logs, natural fencing, local labour (Pebble and Fern makes a point of hiring local youth for tasks like this) and play materials. Funds left from the intial build will be used to maintain the space, ensuring that this place of "Yes!" will be around for a long time.
