From morning coffee and croissants to dinner and a nightcap, this charming hangout has all bases covered. 

Growing his own herbs and edible flowers in kitchen gardens at Daylesford’s Woodshed, Gary makes his own pickles, preserves and dried herbs 

‘In Daylesford it made sense to have this multifunctional space that could be many things for many people.’

Clair's story is more than a narrative of gardening; it's a testament to the transformative power of horticulture. From a child marvelling at a neighbour’s pumpkin to a visionary reshaping perceptions of garden design, her journey illustrates the limitless potential from learning to grow. 

Traditionally, we'd always thought of them more to cook curries, or Indian, Moroccan cuisine. They’d use spices in things we were already cooking, like spaghetti bolognese, and it was to enhance everyday cooking rather than change it.

“For me, it's about constant curiosity. constantly asking questions, why, and how does that happen? And if I keep curiosity in myself alive, then I keep learning.”

Glen orchestrates his symphony of craftsmanship. Each tool, weathered with the patina of decades past, bears witness to the dedication and artistry that permeates every corner of the workshop.

“I’ve always been a tinkerer, a maker, someone who loves to pull things apart to work out how they got put together in the first place.”

“I was equally terrified and excited, as was my partner! But I jumped in head first, and so far, I’m loving the ride.”

We haven't worked up a sweat in this edition, but we hope you have worked up some curiosity and discovered some hidden gems.
