Frequently Asked Questions

Vege Boxes

  • As we only offer a limited amount of boxes, the subscriptions can fill up quickly. We have a waitlist you can join here which also gives you a chance to pick up a one-off box if people are away.

  • We ask for 1 weeks notice so we can redistribute your box - your payment would be stopped for this week. If less than a weeks notice is possible you can choose to have someone else collect your box on your behalf or we can attempt to redistribute. If we are unable to do so you would need to still cover the cost of the box.

  • Payments are required ahead of collection. You can choose to make these week to week or pay for the 3 months in full.

  • Payments can be made via online banking.

  • Generally speaking, no, unfortunately we plan & plant the harvest several months in advance and have grown specific numbers and crops to fill each box, and because we are a small scale garden there is not a tonne of flexibility.

    However always ask and if we can accommodate we will.

  • If you have a real distaste for something certainly let us know and we can try our best to make an adjustment though this can’t be guaranteed. An example is some people really dislike coriander so we’d ensure we gave them a different herb option. But if you really dislike brocolli we can’t guarantee we will be able to swap that out each time.

  • Again as we plan and plant specifically for each box there may not always be surplus to add in. Once again, always ask and we will accommodate where we can

  • This is both joy and the challenge of seasonal eating. But the beauty of this day and age is inspiration is never far away - but we might need to be proactive! And having a few cookbooks at your fingertips helps. We love Sophie Stevens’ & River Cottage cookbooks for really seasonal recipes. But also sometimes we don’t need to be super creative - eating the veges in a basic form (think of what your parents or grandparents used to do) or finding 1 recipe that we can thrash week in week out can simplify. Sometimes we ourselves over complicate things by trying to cook 5 star meals each day of the week.

  • From time to time people are away and we will reditribute their box, join our waitlist to get notified if additional boxes come up.

Flowers

  • If the specific bouquet you want is only recently posted then yes provided it hasn’t been snapped up! Message us or complete an order giving us your preference.

    Our bouquets are one off designs based on what flowers are at their best. We can of course try and recreate a similar style/pallet if we have similar ingredients in bloom. Flick us a message & image of what you are after and we will try our best to accommodate or let you know if it’s not possible.

  • We pick our blooms very fresh often times being delivered well within 24 hours of picking! Because they are coming straight from the farm direct to you, the life of the flower isn’t wasted in the back of a courier van. We also take the upmost care to harvest the flowers at the correct time, and correctly condition them to keep them looking their very best for longer.

  • While there is variation in vase life for different flowers, we aim for 7-10 days. Many people get 2 weeks life from their flowers by simply taking the faded flowers out of the bouquet.

    The real key to vase life is changing the water often so bacteria doesn’t build up.

    You can add a little sugar and vinegar to the vase for food, and keep the bouquet out of direct sun where possible

  • No, no and no! We are very passionate about avoiding toxic chemicals - we don’t want to be near them, and we don’t want you to have to be either. Flowers are to bring beauty and joy into peoples homes and being a luxury item they should only have positive impact on peoples spaces.

  • Currently we service the Stratford township or nearby area. If you have wider needs send us a message and we can let you know if we can accommodate.

  • We generally don’t do wedding flowers, as many wedding organisers are needing to book in 6months+ ahead and we can’t guarantee what we will have available in the field.

    We can do other events, table settings, posies, cake topping flowers or DIY buckets by arrangement. Send us a message to discuss further. From there we can decipher if we can cater to your needs.

  • Awesome! If you have an amount you want to spend, let us know and we can work to that. If you have something specific you want send us a photo and we can give you an estimate.

  • Yes provided there is available flowers to suit at the time. We have different varieties and colours coming on all throughout the season, and this allows us to really capture a moment of the season through our flowers. So the varieties of flowers that we use to make up a certain pallet can change all the time.

    Just send us a message if you have a specific request.
