Caroline Parker (BHSc Western Herbal Medicine) is an herbalist, farmer, forager, and facilitator. She grows herbs and flowers for her business, the Cottage Herbalist, where she sells her award- winning, certified organic and wildcrafted tea blends. When she isn't in her studio hand- blending and packing orders, she is sowing seeds, picking flowers, prepping garden beds, shoveling compost, and tearing around on the ride-on mower. Lucy Mora, a Melbourne illustrator, came across a charming 1870s cottage in Newstead, Central Victoria, and decided to move there with her husband and dog. It was there that she discovered her
love for growing produce and preserving. Her kitchen is lined with jars of preserved fruits and vegetables reminiscent of her childhood. Lucy has transformed the "mow and blow" garden she inherited into a garden full of vegetables, perennials, and cornucopian charm.
