Rin the Garden Fairy

25/06/2025

So excited to have been selected for this!
Costa the Garden Gnome has been a huge inspiration for both my garden and this business itself, so we're delighted to be able to take part in this.

We’re so happy to welcome another wonderful gardener who’ll be opening their garden for us, to help celebrate our first Edible Garden Adventure on Sunday September 14th... Rin!

Rin’s garden is such a marvellous place to explore. Filled with a diverse range of edible plants, including citrus, nuts, bananas, coffee, herbs, vegetables, and so much more (including some harder to find edibles), it really is a wholesome garden that offers productivity and enrichment on many levels.

You’ll be able to immerse yourself in Rin’s garden, learn about its evolution and the good things it's achieving, including providing food for the community, food for rescued rabbits, even food for some animals at Perth Zoo.
Edible Garden Adventure is about celebrating home growers and their gardens within the City of Kalamunda and surrounds, and providing a platform for learning, where attendees can be empowered and experience practical and achievable ways to grow food at home.

Edible Garden Adventure is about exploring productive gardens and seeing how different gardeners are growing their own food. Attendees will be able to speak with the gardeners themselves, learn from their experiences, and gain first-hand advice they can introduce to their own gardens.
We’ll announce the full schedule and tickets in late July. Everyone is welcome. Attendees will be driven in a group to each garden via a coach. More details to come, so stay tuned.

Plus, we have a very special guest coming to join us… Costa!!! Costa will be travelling on the Costa-Coach and exploring all the gardens throughout the day, sharing his food growing knowledge and joining in the fun!

So much do, can't wait to see you there.

Did you know I'm not just a garden fairy at work, but also at home?
Here's a peek into what my food forest is gifting me right now. We've got all sorts of citrus; bananas, pears, dragon fruit and pomegranate; the last of the zucchini and parsnips, eggplant, capsicum, and course my favorite Jerusalem artichokes just coming into season!

This season of Djeran/autumn seems like beautiful weather, but it has been the highest temperatures for this season we've seen in 10 years and 3rd warmest on record. Rainfall has been much lower than it should be - 5ml in April when the average is usually 44ml.

The extra heat has helped boost production in my garden, but I've had to water much more than normal to maintain it.
My ducks are all nesting which is very unusual for this time of year.
Please continue putting water out for animals, planting native food and shelter species, and doing what you can to help protect our environment as these changes make it harder and harder for our native plants and animals to survive🙏

Such a busy day! Time capsule crafts at Guildford library this morning, and then face painting at a delightful park party for lunch.

It was minecraft themed, but somehow I didn't manage to take a single photo of any of the many, many minecraft designs I did 🤣

My first face paint gig since the Minecraft movie came out, and I really should have seen this request coming 🤣
I painted 4 chicken jockeys in one gig, I have a feeling this one will be popular for a while!

The fairies have braved the wind and rain to touch down at the Boddington Medieval Fayre and Feast! Fairy Sophie's hard at work creating some face paint magic, Fairy Cracker is roaming with a scavenger hunt quest and prizes for the kids (or young at heart adults 😉 ), and the wonderful bubble pirate Nicole from Everything's Shiny Productions is whipping up a storm of rainbows in our magical wonderland zone.

If you're there, come say hi!
We've also got a stall with some fairy awesome items from and Buncrafts, so if you're looking to pick up some fairy accessories, mushroom hats or other trinkets to accessorize your fayre outfits we've got you covered.

A very happy Easter to everyone, from myself and April!

April is an Easter bunny in training, and hopes to one day be the right hand Bun to the great Easter Bunny himself. As a part time Easter fairy, I put down the mushrooms and take on the job of helping train all the young Easter Bunny students each year.

We had so much fun exploring and sharing Easter magic at Heritage Home Adult Devonshire Tea House and then Coventry Village yesterday, and at the Stirling Square Market - Guildford today. April did very well and might be ready to graduate soon!

Wow - what a fabulously floral week!
I had the great pleasure of being tasked with making a floral arch for not one, not two, but ALL SIX of the City of Swan Libraries for their school holiday theme: Magical Worlds.
Fairy Sophie's World of Whimsy helped me craft a forests worth of giant flowers in 6 different colours, and then over the course of 3 days we assembled them at each library. Have you seen them yet? Which colour is your favorite?

I also had the pleasure of running a wreath making workshop at Midland Library to welcome in the season of Djeran and time of red flowers, and a pressed flowers workshop with the City of South Perth Libraries Mindlounge series.
We discussed flowers pressing tips, tricks and techniques, and then decorated some candles with some of my pressed pretties in a relaxed and expectation free space.

I'm incredibly excited to be a part of the program; this was my second workshop and I can't wait to do more!

We've got lots of fun Easter events coming up this weekend too, so hopefully I'll see some of you out and about over the next few days.

Our flowers arches and giant flower forests are available for hire to anyone looking to create a magical display for events.

Have you visited the City of Swan Libraries this week? Myself and Fairy Sophie's World of Whimsy have been hard at work crafting some beautiful flower arches for them these last few months for the school holidays, and this week we finally get to install them!
Four libraries down, two to go - Can you guess which colour each library is?
Stay tuned for the final reveal!
