You don’t need lots of flowers to create something beautiful 🌿

For this arrangement, I used just: • 2 Kenzan
• 3 Irises
• 2 Statice stems, divided into 3
• 3 branches pruned from a tree in the garden

And the best part? Kenzan can be used again and again.

With just a few seasonal blooms and branches or foliage from your own garden, you can create something beautiful without needing lots of cut flowers.

A simple, reusable and more sustainable way to enjoy flowers at home. 🌿💜

Hori Hori in action 🌱

One tool. So many jobs.
Unlike many Hori Hori with short handles, this one has a longer handle for extra reach and two-handed control — great for prickly plants, tough jobs, or when you need a little more leverage with less hand strength.

Pruning tips with Alex: The Three-Cut Method

Removing a larger branch? Don’t go straight in with one cut.

The three-cut method helps prevent the weight of the branch from tearing bark and damaging the tree.

1️⃣ Start with an undercut
2️⃣ Make the second cut further out to safely remove the weight of the branch
3️⃣ Finish with a clean final cut just outside the branch collar

A simple technique, but an important one for cleaner cuts and healthier trees.

Save this one for your next pruning job — and follow for more practical pruning tips with Alex.

PRUNING TIP: Where should you cut a branch?

Look for the branch bark collar, also commonly called the branch collar. 🌿

When pruning a branch, where you make the cut matters. Cutting in the right place helps the tree seal the wound and recover naturally.

Alex shows you how to identify the branch bark collar and where to prune to support the tree’s natural healing process.

It’s a small detail that can make a big difference to the long-term health of your valuable trees. 🌳

Save this for your next pruning job.😊
Happy gardening!

What NOT to do with your secateurs

It’s tempting to jiggle or twist when a branch won’t cut — but that can damage the blade.

As Alex shows here, for thicker or hard branches, cut closer to the pivot point where your secateurs have the most cutting power.

And if it won’t cut cleanly, don’t force it!

Good tools deserve good habits.

Spring is just around the corner — time to get your secateurs ready.

Alex, horticulturist and gardener by trade, shares his pruning tips for cleaner cuts, healthier growth and a thriving spring garden.

Happy gardening!

What’s in our garden right now?

Spring is just around the corner, but our garden is still full of cool-season favourites — broccoli, snow peas, potatoes, wombok and more.

They’re still growing, but not for much longer!

As the weather warms up, we’ll gradually harvest them and make space for our spring and summer planting.

One of the things we love about growing our own food is watching the garden change with the seasons — there’s always something finishing and something new to look forward to.

Here’s a little snapshot of our garden at the end of winter.

What’s growing in your garden right now?
