Autumn is the season for wild mushrooms! We've been nagging Chef Phil to take us on one of his foraging expeditions and this week it finally happened.

This week Chef Phil and I were treated to a tour of the farm where we purchase our zucchini flowers, and when in season, avocados. Crossie's Cados is a business run by Andrew Crossman, located just outside of Torrumbarry, Victoria.

Learning how to garden has brought so much happiness to my life. Growing my own food is so rewarding - it teaches me how to be patient, how to nurture, how to let go, and how to start again. 

I've seen the beautiful Lavandula Lavender Farm in every season, but I think Autumn is when this place really shines (even though there's actually no lavender left in the fields!). 

I ticked an item off of my bucket list recently - a visit to the beautiful country garden Stonefields!

Designed by legendary landscape designer Paul Bangay, Stonefields is located in between Kyneton and Daylesford and boasts seven acres of lush gardens.

The last video filmed on my family farm showcases my favourite part of the home - the garden!
