“Michael designed and built a beautiful, safe and inviting space for children to play and parents and carers to relax at the Family Haven in Mooroopna. It includes shade and shelter, sand play, medicinal and culinary herbs, and flowers for picking and bees.
It also meets the brief of being hardy and resilient to little feet and is easy care for novice gardeners. For families who may be in insecure housing, renting or even living in a caravan, the garden provides a welcoming refuge and space to make friends and enjoy the outdoors and play all year round. It has been a lovely addition to the Family Haven where many fond memories are created.”

“Working to establish the Bush Tucker garden with Michael and Lauren was a pleasure and they made the whole consult, design and building process look easy with their passion and enthusiasm. The garden has established and grown into a beautiful functional space that provides a multifunctional outdoor use for both students and teachers alike, the garden is used everyday and provides many uses for teachers and there day to day activities.”
