Gracie & Bumblebee 🐶

Back up, stage 1

Bumblebee has been learning back up!

Stage 2 is to remove the boxes and see if he can back up in a straight line and not get confused.

Hands up who thinks he can do it first try? 🖐️

Show me your favourite dahlia?

This is one of our Green Footed Kiwi dahlias and was such a fantastic grower!

Guaranteed there would be some flowers for every bouquet!

And look at those colours😍

But....and of course there is always a but...

It is not the best in storage.

🤞Fingers crossed it survives and thrives in our new environment.

Show me your pics. Double points if there's a pollinator in it!

*Please ignore the spelling in the captions. I can't find a way to change them. It is meant to say "Moas" not "Mao"*

Do your kids really know their Grandma? 💌
Do you?

What did Grandma dream of being when she was little? Was she a terror? Did she love searching for slugs and worms?

Milly has spent the last year creating something rather special. Real illustrated letters designed not just to give Grandma something lovely in the post, but to get her sharing her stories too.

Letters to Grandma Moa are officially ready to fly. 🥹

October’s letters will be posted from Moa Gardens on 1 October.

One letter $20 | Monthly $20 | A year $220
Free worldwide postage.

👇 Have a watch. Milly can explain the rest far better than I can.

Here’s your permission to grow more flowers.

Go have too many ideas.

Start things you’ve never done before..and may never finish.

Go places. Explore. Meet new people and learn new things.

Get obsessed. Change direction.

Nobody is giving out prizes for being sensible 😆

Gracie & Bumblebee 🐶

When we first got Bumblebee, we realized how similar colouring they both were! But that is where the similarities end, 😂

Who do you think won on best trick pet?

Snails 🐌

Haha I bet I got you all annoyed!

But I'm talking about seed snails not slimy snails.

Have you ever grown your seeds in snails??

Yay! We got a review!

Did you know that writing a review is *THE MOST IMPORTANT* thing you can do for a small business?

Without reviews, people don't trust you.
With reviews, they do.

I always look for reviews before buying or visiting somewhere. Do you?

If you like what we do, or have bought from us before, we would really love you to write us a review to help make us look real 😁

You can review us at the top of our page or on our website.

Thank you!

Mornings are my new favourite thing!

When we moved house people said "I bet you are going to miss that view." The view across the valley was pretty special. But...

Nope!

Just look at that sky!

Maybe we should do morning hot tubs instead of evening hot tubs 🤔

So. Many. Decisions. 😵‍💫

We were not expecting to have to face so many decisions.

Every time we think we've got the plan sorted, another question (*problem) appears. And somehow that one decision seems to have created another six needing to be made beforehand.

It's exciting… but mostly very overwhelming!

But we are getting there. (Apologies to those I have been putting off giving any definitive answers to via email/messenger!) The rows are taking shape, the ideas are finally starting to fit together, connections are being made, and we're almost ready to share our final plan for Moa Gardens.

Clipboard Gracie is on the case. What could possibly go wrong? 😂🌸
