Positive impact in our community.
Random acts of kindness.
After your special event you may choose to keep or donate your fresh flowers to charity, supporting aged care residences and social enterprises like Huon Regional Care, Tassie Mums and many others. Please let us know if you have a chosen charity to surprise and delight.
We will rearrange the best of your ‘leftover’ flowers and deliver to charity at no cost.
We’d love to wrap them in pretty paper and ribbon, however for sustainability reasons we don’t package them in wrapping. They will be re-delivered ready to put straight into vases and fresh water.

The Lucaston Community Biochar Project
There’s no joy for any of us, or our environment, in over filling trailer loads of prunings from trees, rose bushes, blackberries, orchards etc. and carting off to the local tip. Organic matter decomposes over time, releasing gases and leaving little carbon. Did you know this woody material can easily be turned into a valuable resource called BIOCHAR?
Biochar helps reduce soil salinity and improves water retention. It helps people, but also our smaller friends, earth worms and fungi benefit too.
Bustling with benefits, Biochar improves soil quality in the garden and on farms, promoting crop growth and health. Biochar is very stable, and can store carbon for hundreds, even thousands of years, as opposed to releasing it into our warming atmosphere.
This makes biochar a relatively immediate solution in reducing the impacts of gardening, farming (including agricultural waste) and climate change.
Donate today to help make Biochar and a Positive Impact in our Huon Valley community.
By significantly reducing the carbon emissions that we produce, along with other greenhouse gases, together we can help slow and limit global warming.
Donate to help us purchase & set up a Biochar Kiln for community use.
Capturing Carbon
A biochar kiln in action, carbon sequestration - transforming carbon from biomass into stored carbon that can be captured in the soil. Watch how it works. Tasmanian company Terra Preta will be supplying our community kiln. Learn more here.
Treading lightly
Beyond being a buzzword, sustainability and creating positive impact involves regenerative practices that enhance soil health, conserve water, support biodiversity, and all of us treading lightly. It also encompasses ethical considerations like fair labor conditions and caring engagement with the Huon Valley community & beyond.
By supporting local businesses and farmstays like ours and others, food producers & small tourism operators committed to these principles, we empower meaningful change towards preserving seasonal variety, floral beauty, and promoting sustainable tourism for generations to come.
