Our Farm

How the idea came to life.

In 2022 I grew edible flowers and herbs for my families restaurant / local cafes and restaurants and family and friends. It was ever so tiny, but I just loved it.

My Mum, a chef and aromatherapist would use what we grew in cooking and for her soaps and skincare products. When I started Myrtle Creek Manor, a small rescue sanctuary, We wanted to offer a way for people to support us, without asking for donations, that's when we decided to sell what we had been making and using for years, our soaps. I loved growing something that would then be turned into a beautiful product, that's when I decided 'I should do this on a larger scale' so, here we are! and still, our profits support our sanctuary. Our Sanctuary is home to 50 + Rescue Animals! We provide them with a safe and loving forever home, you can see more of what we do on our website and socials (we even have Tik Tok)

Our Rescue Farm

The Greenhouse

Where it all starts.

After many years of those instant up green houses, blowing away in the wind, losing my seeds and being broken into by my recue animals, we finally decided to build our own.

We looked at Poly Tunnels, DIY kits and other companies, all which were simply out of budget. My partner, Jesse and I built this using recycled wood from an animal pen we took down, we bought the sheets and a few other bits and pieces and ended up with this beauty.

I remembered planting my first seedlings - 10 days it would apparently take to germinate, Well, you bet Jess and I did a little happy dance when a little sprout popped out at only 4 days, conditions were PERFECT!

The Flower Patch

Where it all happens.

A large area of dirt became our Micro Flower Farm, I'm not going to lie, I had NO IDEA where to start. There was no fence, no water and poor soil. But, I saw potential!

I took a photo and sketched this, this photo was my motivation and i look forward to seeing this "Plan" come to life.

My Neighbour helped me level the area, My Dad bought home a truck load of chicken poo from his work, we hired a Kanga and spent weeks on tilling and bed prep. This patch has been a labour of love.
