Description
These wise garden-folk ensure each squash is harvested only after the stem is brown and withered, a sign of a pumpkin ready. The fairy crew scrutinizes each specimen for colour, texture, and particularly sound, rapping on the husk expertly to gauge the gourd’s edibility.
A green shield bug (Glaucias amyoti) accompanies them, and preys upon unwanted mini-beasts, such as aphids. To deter larger numbers of the pests, the crew may apply a combination of essential oils, or eject the most stubborn interlopers with a swift kick.,
This Seminole pumpkin (Cucurbita Moschata) from our garden awaits final approval, though some Fey are a smidge impatient for their warm winter soup…

Environmentally friendly, ethical greeting cards for all occasions!
These fun and ofttimes whimsical cards are printed by Australian Trade Printers on high quality, 100% recycled Envirocare stock.
Our cards are A6 (105x148mm), and the backs include the character (or artwork’s) name, and in some cases, a brief story or description of the depicted flora and fauna, such as in the case of the Tawny frogmouth, or the fairy folk we’ve been creating over the years. Many of these feature the native (or invasive!) species we’ve come across in our wanderings and garden ventures.
We also source Australian-made, recycled paper envelopes. This means no plastics, no laminates, and no exploited labourers working in horrible conditions!
Send a greeting that won’t cost the earth, and support several small local businesses in the process.
Illustrations created by Damian Castellini, using traditional inks & watercolour, photoshop, or a combination of the aforementioned.
