Thankyou to everyone who came along to our plant sale yesterday. It’s to safe to say it was a big success! We had sold out of all our vege seedlings within an hour and ended the day with just a few little plants left! We will be back next year with even more veges available. Such a blessing to see all your smiling faces!
